Commitment to Quality

The New Castle Stainless Plate mill sits on hallowed ground when it comes to steelmaking. More than 100 years ago the location was a rolling mill for shovels and plows destined for Midwestern farms and fields. Now the mill is a state-of-the-art example of stainless production supported by a technical team with world-class knowledge of the standards and applications relating to our stainless grades. In 2010, the New Castle mill completed a $58 million capital investment program that increased on-time delivery, improved quality and consistency, and made for safer and more environmentally responsible operations. The upgrades included new equipment to streamline the plate production process, including a new ASBF line (with in-line annealing, shot blasting, and leveling) and improvements to the 120” wide line.
