Commenting, Brad Davey, CEO, ArcelorMittal North America, said:
“This is an important project for AM/NS Calvert which builds additional flexibility to its slab sourcing and will increase its responsiveness to short lead time orders. AM/NS Calvert is already one of the world’s finest steel finishing facilities. Adding this state-of-the-art EAF will further strengthen its capabilities and enhance its ability to serve its full range of customers.
“I am very pleased we will be undertaking this with Nippon Steel; it is a natural extension of our existing, successful partnership.”
