JSW Plans Fully Integrated Steel Complex at Baytown
Written by Sandy Williams
JSW Steel announced it will invest $500 million in its U.S. plate and pipe operations. The Baytown, Texas, facility will receive $150 million in upgrades and the rest will fund a new hot-end facility to make steel.
Texas Governor Gregg Abbott signed an agreement with the company to provide a grant of $3.4 million. The JSW investment “will go into backward integration and also to create the first melt and manufacture contiguous plates and pipes facility in Texas,” Abbott told reporters at the signing.
