JSW USA inks pact with Primetals to upgrade Mingo Junction casting ops

JSW Steel USA has teamed up with Primetals Technologies to upgrade the slab casting capabilities at the company’s Mingo Junction slab and hot-rolled sheet mill in Ohio.

The project will allow JSW USA to make a “wider range of sophisticated steels in the form of slabs to diversify its product portfolio for additional markets,” Primetals said in a press release on Wednesday.
