In this episode, Oregon Business Matters talks with Trevor Giroux, president of ATI‘s Specialty Alloys and Components Division in Millersburg. This might just be the coolest company in Oregon that few people know about. It produces metals that can withstand incredibly harsh conditions, and its products are used in a wide variety of products, from jet engines to MRI machines.

In case you missed it, check out our recent interview with John Tapogna, former longtime president of economics research firm ECOnorthwest and newly installed president of the Oregon Business Council. John and host Angela Wilhelms discuss his new role and what he believes are the five major challenges facing the state: poor school performance, insufficient housing, wildfires, the state’s overreliance on the income tax and Oregon’s historic ambivalence about population growth. You can find a link to that interview here.
