Levy spreads operations internationally: its location network extends across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and Saudi Arabia.
Employees have a formal safety voice: Levy requires management and workers to jointly establish and review safety targets.

What critics are saying

Field roles depend on steel producers: Levy's mill teams work under contracts with mini-mills and integrated mills.
Serious hazards shape field work: Levy's April 2026 safety statement prioritizes preventing severe injuries and fatalities.
Operating freedom has limits: Levy must meet environmental permits and applies stricter internal standards where necessary.
