Ratner Runs First Coil on New Arkansas CTL Line
Written by Tim Triplett
Ratner Steel ran the first coil on its new stretch leveler cut-to-length line in Osceola, Ark., on Monday, reported Ratner President and CFO Steve Gottlieb. The company hopes to replicate the success it has seen at its other service centers in Minnesota and Indiana.
The line was installed by Red Bud Industries in a 150,000-square-foot building the company bought last year. It is capable of leveling and cutting material from 48 up to 74 inches wide, from 16-gauge up to 5/8th-inch thick. The line has a capacity of about 20,000 tons a month. The company hopes to process 100,000 tons in the line’s first year of operation. The facility will stock coils from commercial quality through grade 55 in both hot rolled and pickled and oiled.
