Eaton Steel Bar Company was approached by Dane Moxlow in 2012 to become a sponsor for his racing team in the Pirelli World Challenge series.  ESBC decided to partake in this endeavor and a relationship was born.  ESBC had a great experience in partnering with Dane in the Pirelli World Challenge race at the Detroit Grand Prix on Belle Isle in 2012.  For that reason, Eaton Steel Bar Company is proud to announce that we will once again be partnering with Dane for the Pirelli World Challenge Series in 2013.

Eaton Steel Bar Company’s Internship program started our Internship Program three years ago.  The program started with three Sales Interns, but has grown to multiple departments across our company. Since the inception of the program, Eaton Steel Bar Company has had six Intern classes come through our company. 

At Eaton Steel Bar Company, our Internship program has become an integral part of our company.  The students in the program really become part of our staff and are integrated into the day to day operations of Eaton Steel Bar Company.  We also know that this is an integral step in the student’s career as they apply the theories they have learned in school to the real world.   ESBC’s goal with the Intern Program is to provide the students an opportunity to grow by exposing them to different aspects of our business. 

The 2013 year finds Eaton Steel Bar Company and Atlas Logistics adding to our family of employees.  Please join ESBC in welcoming a new Buyer, Jenna Sheahan, to the Purchasing Department as well as two new Interns, Amanda Bryant and Paula Tomkiel.   Atlas Logistics is welcoming a new Dispatcher, Dan Fox, to the Logistics team.

As 2012 comes to a close, we wanted to recognize two employees at Eaton Steel that are the reason we have become the company that we are today.  Gemel Thompson and Lidiya Gorivodskiy demonstrate the traits that many of our employees at Eaton Steel possess.  Gemel and Lidiya are both extremely hard working and dedicated employees, but both go above and beyond the status quo.
