ThyssenKrupp seeks southern site for major New Carbon, stainless mill

摘要

THYSSENKRUPP is searching for a site to build a new 2.9 billion dollars steel and stainless steel manufacturing facility in the southern United States. The facility will be a joint venture of two group segments, ThyssenKrupp Steel and ThyssenKrupp Stainless, both based in Duisburg, Germany. ThyssenKrupp has conducted extensive due diligence and negotiations with three states, Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana, so far ruling out Arkansas based on the company's careful selection criteria, which includes such factors as geological characteristics that would impact plant design and construction costs, energy costs and logistical considerations.
