USW welcomes new era with Orion Steel, Interpro Pipe and Steel
Atlas Holdings announced its acquisition of Evraz North America last month, with the deal officially closing yesterday. The Canadian operations of the newly named Orion Steel will continue under the name Interpro Pipe and Steel, encompassing USW-represented steel and pipe operations and a rolling mill in Regina, a weld line tube and casing plant in Calgary, several recycling facilities and a pipe-coating mill.
'This investment by Atlas Holdings provides security and immediate and long-term opportunities for our members and the communities where they work,' said Scott Lunny, USW Western Canada Director.
'Atlas has extensive experience operating industrial businesses, working in partnership with unions, and has the capacity to work proactively with provincial and national governments. We are confident they have a long-term view and can provide the expertise and leadership to grow the business,' said Lunny.
The USW extends its thanks to outgoing CEO James 'Skip' Herald for his leadership during challenging years at Evraz North America and for his role in helping bring the sale to completion. The union also welcomes Doug Matthews as the incoming Chief Executive Officer of Orion Steel.
'USW and our local unions in Western Canada and the Territories look forward to working with Orion and Interpro Pipe and Steel to guide and grow the steel and pipe business in Western Canada into the future,' said Lunny.

Carney on Trump: ‘We'll speak when it makes sense'
His comments come just days after President Donald Trump raised tariffs on Canadian exports from 25 to 35 percent, escalating trade tensions. Carney sounded in no hurry to get Trump on the line — or back to the negotiating table. 'We'll speak when it makes sense,' Carney said. Carney told reporters that Trump reaffirmed his commitment to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement last week. He noted the USMCA gives Canada tariff-free access to 85 percent of Canadian exports to the U.S. The prime minister signaled he's in no rush to start the review of USMCA, set for next year, saying it would begin 'about nine months from now.' Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc told POLITICO last week that he spoke with his Mexican counterpart about kickstarting renewal talks 'as early as this fall.' Carney was in British Columbia to announce C$1.2 billion in support for Canada's softwood lumber industry, and to help it pivot to doing more business within the country in the face of rising duties imposed by the United States. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne are in Mexico for a series of meetings that are to include Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. Anand and Champagne are laying the groundwork for a future meeting in Mexico between Carney and the Mexican leader.
