Big River Steel, Osceola, Ark. announces a major expansion of its scrap recycling and steel production facility that will double its hot-rolled steel production capacity to 3.3 million tons annually. The $1.2 billion investment will also allow production of higher grades of electrical steel to satisfy the increasing demand from hybrid and electric vehicle sales.
Announced less than 18 months after beginning its Flex Mill, a steel mini mill focused on the production of a wide product spectrum, engineering efforts for the expansion are already underway.
