The first coil has been produced at the new Steel Dynamics flat-rolled steel mill in Sinton, Texas. Steel Dynamics, an SFIA member, held a ribbon cutting ceremony at the plant, which Hellenic Shipping News says will reach its full operating capacity of 3 million tons annually during the fourth quarter of 2022.
The $1.9 billion steel mill will have product capabilities beyond that of any existing electric arc furnace (EAF) flat roll steel producer. The Steel Dynamics website says the new mill will compete more effectively with blast furnace steel producers and foreign producers.
The Stinton steel mill will have:
- Next generation of EAF steelmaking
- A galvanizing line with Galvalume® capability
- A paint line
- Additional galvanizing and paint lines come online mid-2023
The Sinton steel mill will produce advanced high-strength steels. This mill will also produce high-quality, low-carbon, sustainable steel, as do all Steel Dynamics steelmaking facilities.
