In 2009, the Heartland Steel subsidiary was started in Ohio.

The facility is strategically located with easy access to interstate highways placing Heartland Steel within a one day drive of sixty percent of the population of the United States. Although start up costs for the new business impacted negatively on the overall profit of Heartland for 2009, they were less than budgeted. With the rebound in the steel sector of the economy in 2010, Heartland Steel is projected to be a profit contributor in 2010.
