Barry Schneider, vice president and general manager of Steel Dynamics’ engineered bar products division. “The recent enactment of the right-to-work legislation is further evidence of Indiana’s commitment to providing the most competitive business environment possible for global companies like us to grow.”
The company will invest $76 million to expand its engineered bar products division to increase the mill’s capacity to produce special-bar-quality (SBQ) steel bars and the site’s product offerings. Facility upgrades and new equipment installation are expected to be complete by the end of summer next year.
