Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI) announced that it has agreed to acquire the remaining 55% equity interest in New Process Steel.
The Fort Wayne, Ind,-based steelmaker said the New Process Steel move will grow its value-added manufacturing applications.
Mark D. Millett, chairman and CEO of SDI, said adding New Process Steel will enhance the company’s offerings.
“This acquisition expands our exposure to value-added manufacturing opportunities, while continuing to serve our other long-standing flat-rolled steel customer needs,” Millett stated in the company release on Aug. 19.
The CEO added, “New Process has a reputation for high-quality standards and strong customer relationships. With this next step, we believe New Process will continue to have a number of opportunities for value-added manufacturing growth.”
