U.S. Steelmakers Gird for $1 Billion in First-Quarter Kickoffs, an Industrial Info News Alert

SUGAR LAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Three major steel producers are leading capital investments set to kick off across the U.S. in January, with demand from the automotive and renewable-energy industries driving their capacity additions.

Industrial Info is tracking more than $1 billion worth of steel-manufacturing projects that are set to begin construction in the first quarter of 2025, with revamps accounting for the largest number of developments.

Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) (Charlotte, North Carolina) is preparing to begin work on a $280 million modernization of its steel coil and plate mill in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The company plans to convert the existing, 1.2 million-ton-per-year plant into a highly advanced tandem Steckel mill, which is designed to produce thinner, stronger, higher-quality plate. SMS Group (Mönchengladbach, Germany), which is providing the technology, says "the improved furnace efficiency reduces the system's natural gas consumption."
