Steel Americas

ThyssenKrupp Steel Americas includes the new plants currently being ramped up in Brazil and the USA with which the ThyssenKrupp Group is investing in the growing premium segment of the flat steel markets in the NAFTA region. The companies in this Business Area are ThyssenKrupp CSA Siderúrgica do Atlântico in Brazil and ThyssenKrupp Steel USA, LLC in the USA.

As part of quality control, several iron and slag samples are taken during each tapping operation and analyzed in the chemical laboratories.

The steel mill complex in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro has an annual crude steel capacity of 5 million metric tons. This integrated steel mill includes two blast furnaces, BOF shop, two continuous casters, coke plant, power plant and a captive port. Three million tons of the slabs produced will be processed in the USA.

In Calvert, around 40 miles north of Mobile in the state of Alabama, a new processing plant was built for this, including hot rolling, cold rolling and coating lines. Two million tons of the steel produced in Brazil will be processed in the German plants of ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe.

The Steel Americas business unit will focus exclusively on the production, processing and marketing of high-grade carbon steels.
