US Steel said it has begun the process of restarting one of two idled blast furnaces at Granite City Works, citing customer demand and "ordinary course" of business planning.
"After several months of carefully analyzing customer demand, we made the decision to restart a blast furnace," CEO David Burritt said. The company, which is now owned by Nippon Steel, temporarily stopped steel production at the Illinois plant two years ago.
"Steel remains a highly competitive and highly cyclical industry, but we are confident in our ability to safely and profitably operate the mill to meet 2026 demand," Burritt added.
