An announcement dated 18 August 1998 described Weirton Steel’s role in forming an independent online metals marketplace called MetalSite. It named Weirton, LTV and Steel Dynamics as initial participating sellers and Cahners Business Information as an information provider.
The document presented a phased launch combining industry information with online sourcing and commerce. These were plans and relationships reported at that time.
