JSW Steel USA Accelerates Upgrades
Written by Sandy Williams
JSW Steel plans to accelerate its plans to overhaul its U.S. facilities in Ohio and Texas. Both plants have been idled due to weak demand and pricing resulting from COVID-19 impacts.
The plant in Mingo Junction, Ohio, will receive an upgrade to its 1.5-million-ton capacity electric arc furnace and is expected to restart production in March. Due to a deficiency of steel slabs in the U.S., the Ohio plant will change its focus from coils to slabs, said Parth Jindal, director of U.S. operations.
