DALLAS – November 3, 2025 – ISN, the global leader in contractor and supplier information management services, celebrated five years of partnership with Optimus Steel, a leading steel manufacturer. Since the implementation of ISNetworld, Optimus Steel has expanded its use of ISN’s tools and services to help enhance visibility into contractor qualifications and support workforce safety across its operations.
“Working with ISN over the past five years helped reinforce Optimus Steel’s commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement,” said Chinenye Ude, HSE Manager at Optimus Steel. “The partnership has provided the support and flexibility to strengthen and implement best-in-class contractor management processes to help keep safety at the center of Optimus Steel’s operations.”
