Hybar expansion still on the table as Arkansas mill startup nears

As Hybar nears completion of its $700-million rebar mill in northeast Arkansas, the new longs producer and scrap recycler said it is still “actively considering” building other steel facilities in the southern US.

The 700,000-short-ton-per-year facility in Osceola, Ark., is on schedule for commissioning in late May/early June, the company told SMU. It will be adjacent to Hybar’s 105-megawatt behind-the-meter solar facility and a 200-acre river port facility.
