Ferrous Solutions Inc. Launches New Website

CANTON, Ohio (February 25, 2000) - Ferrous Solutions Inc., a Canton, Ohio-based provider of custom-blended scrap materials and software solutions for steelmakers, announced today the launch of its new corporate website.

The website, at www.ferroussolutions.com, offers a thorough overview of the company's products and services, according to J. Edward Norris, president.

"We're excited to have a home on the World Wide Web," said Norris. "Ferrous Solutions is at the cutting edge of applying technological solutions in the scrap industry, and this website is a reflection of our intention to continue in that leadership role."

The site details each of FSI's main services: custom-blended scrap materials, statistical-based raw material analysis, and ferrous metal sampling. There is also a link detailing FSI's innovative Alchemist Scrap Management Software System™, a PC-based, linear optimization software program designed to streamline steelmakers' scrap operations. In addition to helping manage inventory, the system enables operators to calculate the best mix of ingredients to yield the desired chemistry at the lowest cost.

The site was created by the website design team at Innis Maggiore Group, a Canton-based advertising and public relations agency.

Founded in 1996, Ferrous Solutions Inc. uses computer-modeling, sampling and quality control techniques to blend scrap mixes to customers' specifications.
