CSN – Always a Bridesmaid…
Written by John Packard
CSN has been looking to expand their operations in the United States ever since they acquired the bankrupt Heartland Steel and turned it into CSN, LLC. The Terre Haute, Indiana rolling facility is capable of taking hot bands and converting them to either cold rolled or galvanized steel – with the vast majority of the tonnage being fed through the company’s galvanizing line.
In 2006, CSN was in talks to build a mill in Kentucky, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, but instead they began pursuing Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel. At that time, CSN had international sales of $4.7 billion and produced 5.7 million tons of steel in Brazil. The company earned $904 million in 2004.
