American Steel and
Alloys LLC has announced that the closed-down
CSC mill in Warren, Ohio will soon be back in business.
The company said Friday that the mill will begin
manufacturing carbon and low alloy steel grades for sale domestically in three month's time. The mill, which produced bars in its last incarnation as
CSC, has been dormant since 2001 when the mill closed, eliminating 1'375 jobs. Before it became
CSC, the mill belonged to Copperweld Steel.
The steel will be made in the 110 net ton electric furnace and then put through the continuous caster to produce 12 1/2-inch-diameter steel rounds.
The revamped mill will employ 110 employees, including 15 salaried and 95 hourly.
A preliminary assessment is currently being conducted to determine what repairs are needed to restart the mill.
