JSW Breaks Ground on One-of-a-Kind Mill in Baytown
Written by Tim Triplett
JSW Steel USA broke ground Friday in Baytown, Texas, on what it claims will be the most technologically advanced electric arc furnace, slab caster and plate mill in the world. It will be the only melt and manufacture plate mill with a contiguous pipe mill in North America, the company said.
Thanks to policies from Washington, JSW Steel USA is embarking on a journey to hire 1,000 new workers and invest up to $1 billion to modernize and expand its U.S. operations in Baytown and Mingo Junction, Ohio, said John Hritz, President and CEO of JSW USA.
