Introducing Michael McGuire - Director of Business Development

Michael McGuire is an accomplished steel industry executive with over 20 years’ experience developing sales strategies, organic and acquisition based expansion and operational improvements. He is highly skilled in objective setting and execution, product line and manufacturing management and has excellent leadership and communication ability.

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin (Madison) with a BA degree in Economics, Michael started his career as an Account Executive with a company that was acquired by an international electrical steel products supplier.  He worked his way up to a National Sales Manager by building strategic alliances with key OEM customers and supplying mills.  After 8 years, to build his experience and knowledge, Michael joined another leader in the electrical steel industry. He continued his success in building strategic sales channels and creating new revenue streams through the addition and expansion of product lines.

I firmly believe that the Steininger family has put into place a formula for ongoing success based on providing a commitment to superior service, quality, craftsmanship, and innovation that sets us apart in the industry. The most valuable assets of any company are the people that drive its success. Sko-Die understands that the financial ROI that we can achieve is based on how committed we remain to creating and maintaining an environment of excellence under which the entire team can thrive.”

Michael’s customer-centric beliefs are ideally suited to help Sko-Die expand its opportunities for success moving forward.

“Customers are the life blood of any company. From my view, Sko-Die has aligned itself with a wide array of world class companies. I firmly believe in developing long term, win-win relationships and that this is the basis for all successful endeavors. Our challenge remains to continue to deliver innovative and value based solutions to our current and future customers. Sko-Die has enjoyed great success in building successful long term relationships with our business partners and I am eager to contribute to this tradition.”
