Worthington Steel, Inc., (NYSE: WS) announced today that it has
been named to Foundry’s Computerworld 2025 Best Places to Work in
IT. This award recognizes the top organizations that challenge
their IT staffs while providing great benefits and
compensation.
“Our IT team deserves recognition every year, but this year,
they are true MVPs. Their extraordinary efforts to help Worthington
Steel become a standalone public company by successfully separating
all systems – including infrastructure, end-user systems, business
applications and security – are truly commendable,” said Bill
Wertz, vice president of transformation and chief information
officer. “I’m thrilled with everything they’ve accomplished and
look forward to the future as the team continues to lead
advancements in technology, efficiency, connectivity and metrics,
empowering the Company to drive the metals industry forward.”
Worthington Steel’s IT department is a key enabler in the
Company’s business system and growth strategy. After completing the
complex separation of systems and technologies as Worthington Steel
spun off from the former Worthington Industries, the IT team
remains instrumental in mergers and acquisitions, efficiently
integrating new businesses. Beyond maintaining core systems for
daily manufacturing and support, from ERP to the industrial
internet of things, IT collaborates with analytics, business
intelligence and transformation teams to drive continuous
improvement and innovation. Together, they champion new
technologies for office automation and shop floor optimization,
advancing the Company’s operational excellence.
“This year’s focus on AI has created demand for new skills in
AI, data analytics and cloud. The good news: Leading companies
recognize that these opportunities for business innovation also
create new opportunities for internal IT talent,” said Barbara
Call, global director of content strategy at Foundry. “Our winning
companies are committed to keeping their tech workforce happy and
engaged – which means going beyond raises, perks and promotions to
offer opportunities for upskilling and training on cutting-edge and
emerging technologies.”
Worthington Steel ranked No. 18 in the midsize organization
category and is among 112 total organizations that will be included
on Computerworld.com along with results from the 2025 Best Places
to Work in IT survey. This marks Worthington Steel’s seventh time
to achieve this award and its first since becoming a standalone
public company in December 2023.
