Written by Sandy Williams
January 9, 2014
Cargill will build its eighth U.S. steel processing center in response to increased demand for carbon steel sheet & coil products used in the manufacturing and shale oil and gas industry in Northern Colorado. The hot-rolled steel processing facility, located 60 miles north of Denver in Windsor, will begin construction in early 2014 and provide 25 new jobs over the next three years.
The 60,000 square foot plant will process hot rolled steel coils into cut-to-length steel sheet and plate products in thicknesses from 16-gauge (.054 inches) up to one-half inch, in widths from 48 inches to 72 inches wide, in standard and custom lengths for customers in 15 western and Midwestern states. It will also serve as a distribution center for laser quality, ultra-flat RPS® steel product produced at Cargill’s Granite City, Ill., facilities and hot rolled cut-to-length sheet and plate from its Port of Catoosa, Okla., facility.
The plant will be located in the Great Western Industrial Park and near the oil and gas rich DJ Basin in Northern Colorado.
