AK Steel is honoring four suppliers and three processors for providing outstanding service, value and strategic support to the company's business plan in 2009. In the wake of the most severe economic downturn in the past 75 years, the companies found innovative ways to add value to AK Steel's supply chain. Through their actions, the award recipients helped AK Steel consistently earn top quality ratings from its customers throughout the year.
