Big River Steel

in mid-2014, big river steel boldly began setting new expectations for the steel industry when we broke ground on a $1.3 billion flex mill, combining the best of integrated mills’ capabilities with the nimbleness of a mini mill. looking far beyond the status quo, big river steel is committed to exploring the limits of what’s possible. when operational in mid-2016, the world’s first flex mill (combining the capabilities of an integrated mill with the nimbleness of a mini mill) will produce 1.7 million tons annually of hot-rolled, pickled and oiled, cold-rolled and galvanized coil. we will rapidly ramp-up our capabilities to produce many of the most demanding niche steels currently undersupplied in the us market. accomplishing this will require a new way of doing business, a new wave of technologies and, most importantly, a new generation of inventive steel technicians. the future of steel is only limited by our imagination. and the only way to unleash what’s possible is with big thinkin
