A domestic steel producer and metals recycler chose Sinton, Texas, as the site for the company’s new electric-arc-furnace (EAF) flat roll steel mill.
Steel Dynamics, Inc., a carbon steel producer which also owns Vulcan Steel Products that services the heat treat industry, recently announced its preferred choice as the Sinton location, 30 miles northwest of the port of Corpus Christi, Texas, because it is strategically located within the targeted Southwest U.S. and Mexico market regions; it’s central to the largest domestic consumption of flat roll Galvalume® and construction painted products; and it provides sufficient acreage to allow customers to locate on-site, providing steel mill volume base-loading opportunities.

“We have been developing a flat roll steel business strategy for this region and Mexico for several years,” said Mark. D. Millett, President and Chief Executive Officer, “and the team is ready to execute. We have extensive experience and a proven track record for successfully constructing and operating EAF steel mills and downstream value-add finishing lines. Our planned new EAF flat roll steel mill will be the most technologically advanced facility existing today.”
