U.S. Steel CEO, Mario Longhi told analysts this afternoon that the company will close its Hamilton, Ontario, Canada blast furnace by the end of the year. The company advised they will also close two coke batteries at U.S. Steel Gary Works (#5 & #7).
The coke batteries and rolling mills at Hamilton Works will not be affected by the announcement which was made in unusual fashion during a conference call with steel analysts held this afternoon.
