Indiana Harbor Aluminizing Line Closed
Written by Sandy Williams
ArcelorMittal USA has closed the aluminizing line at Indiana Harbor West. Workers have been transferred to a galvanizing line that restarted after being idled near the end of 2014.
The closing has been in the works for more than a year and was actually expected in December. ArcelorMittal has been in talks with the USW about closing additional lines at Indiana Harbor. The plan is to run fewer lines and investing in others to preserve jobs and improve efficiency according to USW District 7 Director Mike Millsap.
