Big River Steel Batch Anneal/Temper Mill to Begin Production in March
Written by John Packard
“We will follow the market,” is what Mark Bula, Chief Commercial Officer at Big River Steel, told SMU during a phone interview late last week. We asked Bula to outline the progress of the mill and when they anticipate beginning production.
We learned that with the strength of the cold rolled markets, Big River Steel will have the ability to batch anneal and temper roll coils beginning in March. These would be the first pieces of equipment to begin processing steel at the still under construction mill. Bula told SMU they will have a more detailed announcement regarding the start-up of operations sometime in March. He told us, “If we can justify running the equipment we will do it.”
