New steel line opens at Big River facility in Osceola – Talk Business & Politics
The world is changing, US Steel president and CEO Dave Burritt said Thursday (Oct. 12), and perhaps it is no more evident than in the new line that can produce the thinnest gauges, widest widths and biggest coils in the domestic steel market today.
It is not only thinnest, lightest and widest, Burritt said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Big River Steel in Osceola, but “it is the best steel made anywhere.”
Big River Steel, which was acquired by US Steel in 2021, is producing its Indux line of non-grain-oriented electrical steel, which was specifically engineered to meet the demands of the electrical vehicle market as well as the power generator and transformer manufacturing industries.
