JSW USA, Baytown, Texas, has broken ground on what its engineers believe to be the most technologically advanced and eco-friendly electric arc furnace, slab caster, and plate mill in the world. It is the only melt-and- manufacture plate mill with a contiguous pipe mill in North America. The melt-and-manufacture electric arc furnace and slab caster are being built on 111 acres at its 700-acre Baytown campus.
Thanks to new policies from Washington, JSW Steel USA is embarking on a journey to hire 1000 new workers and invest up to $1 billion to modernize and expand its U.S. operations. The project was initially unveiled in March of this year before an audience of more than 200 that included Texas Congressman Brian Babin, representatives from U.S. Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn’s offices, local economic development officials, and employees.
JSW USA, based in Baytown, Texas, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JSW Group, a $13 billion group headquartered in India with more than 40,000 employees worldwide.
