SunCoke announced the deal at the end of May and has said it will enable the company to diversify into electric-arc furnace operations. It also adds international markets to SunCoke’s portfolio.
“We are thrilled to officially welcome Phoenix into the SunCoke family,” SunCoke President and CEO Katherine T. Gates said in a statement. “We are excited by the opportunity to reach new customers and new markets with the addition of Phoenix’s assets.”
