Commercial Metals Company announced that the company will invest in a second spooler to produce hot-rolled, spooled rebar at its micro mill in Mesa, Arizona.
This investment is in addition to the January 2017 announcement of the first spooler in the United States, which will be located at the company's new micro mill in Durant, Oklahoma. The company expects to begin shipping spooled rebar from the Oklahoma mill in the spring of 2018 and from the Arizona mill about one year later.
According to a company press release, the micro mill technology “lends itself well to spooled rebar production” and will allow CMC to offer spools from 1.5 to 4.8 tons.
