Tenaris Koppel Melt Shop Restarts Steel Bar Production
Written by Sandy Williams
The Tenaris melt shop in Koppel, Pa., is fired up and underway after a $15-million, year-long upgrade. It will soon supply steel bars for the company’s seamless pipe mills in the U.S. and Canada. The facility is Tenaris’ first U.S. melt shop and was part of the 2020 acquisition of TMK IPSCO.
The upgrade expanded the mill’s capabilities to produce a wider range of bars. It also included a new design for the caster as well as the installation of new molds.
