We Help Metals & Manufacturing Companies Improve Their Sales & Purchasing Processes
Over 35 Years of Expertise in the Steel Industry
With decades of experience in sales, purchasing, and management, and having founded my own steel business in 1999, I understand the challenges you face in the metals industry.
As a Sales Manager:
Led a team of 4 Salespeople, 4 staffers, and 1 warehouse team member.
Managed yearly sales exceeding $20 million.
As the Owner of Lewder Steel Corp:
Achieved cumulative sales of over $25 million.
Successfully outmaneuvered a large service center to become the primary supplier for a solid OEM.
Purchasing and Sales Training:
I offer targeted training for both new and existing purchasing agents, covering essential areas like vendor management, cost and market analysis, purchase order verification, quality control, rejection procedures, freight costs, and inventory strategies. With my background in the service-center industry, I bring a unique perspective that aligns with your specific needs—after all, I was once your supplier.
Client Testimonial
We couldn’t be happier with the service we have received from Lewis Dennen. Lew has a deep understanding of metal procurement and did a great job communicating his knowledge to us. We have been working with Lew for the past 4 months and his knowledge has had a clear impact on our procurement team. We highly recommend Lew to anyone looking to improve their metal procurement process.
