JM Steel Expansion
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Date: May 1, 2020
From: Tony Calandra, Group President of Frank Calandra Inc. and Calandra Group, LLC.
Subject: JM Steel Expansion
I am pleased to announce that JM Steel will be expanding its footprint substantially over the next two years! Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI) has invited us to be part of their newest flat roll steel mill located in Sinton, Texas; just outside of Corpus Christi. The new mill will target an estimated 27 million tons of regional market place driven by manufacturing, automotive, construction, transportation, and energy markets. The new Sinton mill will have an estimated annual capacity of 3.0 million tons, and boast "Next Generation" electric - arc- furnace (EAF) technology.
JM Steel's facility has plans to include three slitting lines capable of producing 30,000 tons of steel a month. Our first line will have capabilities of .500" x 84" @ 80,000 psi, with thickness ranging from .050" - .500". The slitter will be able to handle 105,000 lbs max coil weights and run up to 400 fpm. With these characteristics JM Steel will have the largest, most capable slitter in the United States. The plant and the slitter will be operational by June 30th, 2021. Plans in years three and four include lighter gauge slitter capabilities and additional value added services like laser cutting and press braking capabilities. The new facility will also boast two roll forming lines and a stamping press capable of producing 260,000 bolts per month to serve mining markets located in Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, Chile and Peru. The new location gives JM Steel Sinton excellent export opportunities to supplement its core ground control business of JENNMAR.
On behalf of JM Steel, I would like to thank the entire Steel Dynamics Team that consisted of Mark Millett (SDI- CEO), Miguel Alvarez (Senior VP, Southwest US and Mexico), Glenn Pushis (Senior VP- Special Projects),Tommy Scruggs (SDI Flat Roll Group GM- Sales and Marketing), and Ryan Thrasher (Commercial Manager - Mexico) for their professionalism during the entire process. We look forward to the many opportunities this location and the new SDI Mill will offer JM Steel and JENNMAR.
Thank You,
Tony Calandra
