Join AMU and SMU for a special webinar with Shapiro Metals CEO Bruce Shapiro on Thursday, Nov. 6, at 11 am ET.
The live webinar will be free for all to attend. A recording will be available only to AMU and SMU subscribers. You can register here.
Shapiro Metals started in 1904 with Bruce’s grandfather, who worked as a “junk peddler.” His father’s generation built a scrap business from those humble origins. Bruce Shapiro has expanded the business further with a focus on recycling and sustainability.
Shapiro will talk about the lessons he has learned along the way about what it takes to move a business forward. He’ll also talk about some of the important issues facing the metals industry – whether that’s tariffs, AI, or the politics of rare earths.
As many of you know, Shapiro is not only CEO of Shapiro Metals. He is also known for his well-regarded market insights, which you can find here.
So, make sure to mark your calendars for Nov. 6 at 11 am ET. We’ll keep it to 45 minutes, so you can tune in, learn something, and get on with your day. One more thing: Don’t forget to pack some good questions for the Q&A!
