Our facilities are subject to certain federal, state and local requirements relating to the protection of the environment. We believe that we are in material compliance with all environmental laws, do not anticipate any material expenditure to meet environmental requirements and do not believe that compliance with such laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

Service Marks, Trade Names and Patents

We conduct our business under the name “Olympic Steel.” A provision of federal law grants exclusive rights to the word “Olympic” to the U.S. Olympic Committee.

We have used the name Olympic Steel since 1954, but are prevented from registering the name “Olympic” and from being qualified to do business as a foreign corporation under that name in certain states. In such states, we have registered under different names, including “Oly Steel” and “Olympia Steel.” Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Olympic Steel Iowa, Inc., does business in certain states under the name “Oly Steel Iowa, Inc.” Our wholly owned subsidiary, IS Acquisition, Inc., does business under the name “Integrity Stainless.” Our CTI operation conducts business under the name “CTI Power.” Our operation in Monterrey, Mexico operates under the name “Metales de Olympic S. de R.L. de C.V.” Our wholly owned subsidiary, B Metals, Inc., does business under the name “Berlin Metals.” Our wholly owned subsidiary, MCI, Inc., does business under the name “McCullough Industries” and we conduct business under the name “EZ Dumper” for certain of our products.
