A producer of steel and related products headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, recently selected the MI.DA® Micromill technology of Pennsylvania-based steel distributor Danieli to expand its presence in the Midwest with a new operation to be built in Sedalia, Missouri.
Nucor Corporation contracted Danieli to design the plant to produce in excess of 350,000 short tons per year of straight rebar products, in sizes, grades and custom lengths. The design of the mill will allow for the future installation of a spooling line for the production of twist-free, easy-to-store and transport, compact heavy coils up to 11,000 lbs.
The mill is scheduled to be in operation by the third quarter of 2019. It will be the third such mill in the USA alone and will join eight other MI.DA® Micromills with capacities ranging from 300,000 to 800,000 tons/year already (or soon to be) in operation worldwide.
