“To date in 2020 we have increased our penetration in value-added markets, thanks in part to our earlier investment in new state-of-the-art batch annealing technology, and we have secured a long-term, competitively priced supply of iron ore along with an option to acquire a stake in the Minntac mine,” said Alan Kestenbaum, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In the coming months, we expect to commission our pig iron casting facility, which will increase our tactical flexibility and further diversify our product mix.”
