Armco recently restructured its

Western Steel Division into three operating divisions — Southwest- ern Steel, Midwestern Steel, and

Manufactured Products. The re- organization is a further step in

Armco's strategy to establish au- tonomous business units.

Southwestern Steel Division is headquartered in Houston, and produces carbon and alloy steels in plate, wide-flange, and bar forms primarily for the energy and marine markets. Its Houston producing plant is the largest in- tegrated steel mill on tidewater west of the Mississippi River.

Clifford G. Ward is president of Southwestern Steel Division.

He was with the company's steel sales organization from 1949 to 1977, when he transferred to

Armco's Houston-based National

Supply Company as vice president of administration. In 1978, he re- turned to Armco's Western Steel

F.H. Cheffy

Division as vice president of Hous- ton products.

Headquartered in Kansas City,

Mo., Midwestern Steel Division produces carbon and alloy steels in the form of bar, rod, and wire, primarily for agricultural mining and light construction uses. Rob- ert L. Purdum is president of

Midwestern Steel Division. He served as sales engineer, general manager, and vice president for

Armco's Metal Products Division.

In 1978, he was named vice pres- ident for Western Steel Division's

Kansas City Products organiza- tion.

Also with headquarters in Kan- sas City, Manufactured Products
