Russian steelmaker NLMK Group has announced that its US-based division NLMK USA has restarted its hot dip galvanizing line No. 2 in the current month. The line, which is located at the Sharon Coating facility in Pennsylvania, has a production capacity of approximately 226,000 mt per year. 
 
The hot dip galvanizing line No. 2 was idled in 2012 due to weak demand for galvanized steel in the US market.
 
“We are seeing a demand increase in the USA market, driven by the pick-up in activity in the automotive and construction sectors, and trade measures introduced to protect the US market from unfairly traded imports. Sharon Coating traditionally supplies galvanized steel to manufacturers of engineered steel buildings, general manufacturing, construction products, solar energy, automotive, and service centers.  Our customers took very positively to our plans to expand our offering of high value added products that are in such high demand in the market,” stated Bob Miller, CEO of NLMK USA.
