Foam Fabricators, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a coast-tocoast network of 14 facilities providing shape molded foam products,
packaging, and components. Its foam products are used in the packaging
of items such as electronics equipment and appliances, but they can also
be found in other applications such as inside bicycle helmets. The
company, which has 250 employees, molds a full range of materials
including expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyethylene (EPE),
expanded polypropylene (EPP), and copolymers such as GECET, ARCEL,
and RMER. These raw materials are injected as beads into molds, then
heated with steam which causes them to expand and solidify into the
finished shape. Foam Fabricators also fabricates flexible materials such as
polyethylenes, polyurethanes, polypropylenes, and EPS, both molded and
extruded.

around $14 in Britain and almost $17 in Asia. Voestalpine will use natural
gas at its new plant, its biggest investment to date at 550 million euros
($712 million), to turn iron ore into sponge iron, which will later be used to
make crude steel.
Cheap natural gas not only cuts costs for companies that use it as a raw
material or feedstock for other products such as chemicals, it also means
lower power prices as utilities use more gas to generate electricity.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW IRON AND STEEL
It is common today to talk about "the iron and steel industry" as if it
were a single entity, but historically they were separate products. The
steel industry is often considered to be an indicator of economic progress,
because of the critical role played by steel in infrastructural and overall
economic development, with the main demand creators being the
automobile, construction, infrastructure and oil & gas Industries. Due to its
increasing global prominence, in 2008, steel started to be traded as a
commodity on the London Metal Exchange.
Modern steels are made with varying combinations of alloy metals to fulfil
many purposes. Carbon steel, composed simply of iron and carbon,
accounts for 90% of steel production whereas other alloys include
elements such as manganese, chromium and nickel. Though not an alloy,
galvanized steel is a commonly used variety of steel which has been hotdipped or electroplated in zinc for protection against rust.
As a result of the growing demand for steel for infrastructural works and
real estate projects in developing countries, the steel industry is becoming
more and more competitive with every passing day. Till the late eighties,
the steel market used to be dominated by OECD (Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development) countries. But with the fast
emergence of developing countries like China, India and South Korea in
this sector, there has been a dramatic shift in market share.
Future Prospects
Candidates interested in this industry can be reassured of strong
demand and lucrative opportunities over the coming years, as local
players expand their operations in both the domestic and foreign markets.
Players such as Jindal Steel and Tata Steel have progressively grown in
size and stature and continue to recruit an increasing number of top
calibre candidates across all areas of their business.
