JSW Steel USA, a subsidiary of JSW Steel, plans to invest $110 million to modernise its steel plate mill in Baytown, Texas.
The investments, announced at the 10th SelectUSA Investment Summit hosted by the US department of commerce in National Harbor, Maryland, will enable the firm to produce high-quality monopile steel
“The investments will enable us to produce high-quality steel products while further defining our niche markets through a ‘Made in America’ specialty steel portfolio. These investments have the potential to significantly reduce US import reliance
“The new upgrades at our plate mill support the long-term ESG initiative of JSW USA and support decarbonisation of the energy spectrum in the US,” he added.
Steel products made through this investment are aligned with ‘Buy America’ requirements for niche grades and sophisticated applications such as hydrocarbon pipelines, offshore wind towers, offshore wind platforms, high-density pressure vessels, monopile steel slabs and platforms for offshore wind towers.
“JSW’s continued investment in its Baytown facility and enduring partnership with the state of Texas reflects the company’s ethos
Through these investments, JSW USA will enhance its domestic manufacturing capabilities for end-use within the renewable energy and infrastructure sectors. The company will also expand its ‘Made in USA’ product portfolio by insourcing the production of American-made steel slabs from its production facilities at Mingo Junction, Ohio.
The new projects, which build upon JSW USA’s recent $145 million investment in its Mingo Junction facility to upgrade its clean steel manufacturing processes, are expected to be completed and commissioned by FY26.
