Canton, Ohio-based special bar quality (SBQ) steelmaker Republic Engineered Products, Inc. announced Thursday that its new $20 million precision sizing mill and related equipment at its rolling operation in Blasdell (Lackawanna), New York is now fully operational, boosting bar and coil-making capacity.

The new sizing mill in New York state marks North America's first model 370++Kocks three-roll reducing and sizing block (RSB), allowing Republic Engineered Products to increase manufacturing capabilities.

"We're pleased to bring additional capacity to the hot-rolled marketplace through increased production efficiencies thanks to our new mill in New York," said Republic President and Chief Executive Officer Jaime Vigil.  "Not only are we producing more in Lackawanna, we're producing product with much-improved diameter tolerances, which enables more consistent part quality for our customers."
