Background on AM/NS Calvert
A Joint Venture between ArcelorMittal and NSC acquired Thyssen Krupp USA in February 2014.
Calvert is the most capable finishing facility in North America, supplying the highest quality steel solutions to the most demanding customers in the region:
- State-of-the-art hot strip mill (HSM) designed to roll advanced high strength steels (AHSS), Line Pipe & Stainless products
- Continuous Pickling Line (CPS) and coupled Pickle Line-Tandem Cold Mill (PLTCM) optimized for auto production (including exposed)
- Coating Lines, galvanized and aluminized, which can supply advanced automotive grades including Gen3 AHSS and Press Hardened Steel (PHS)
The new 1.5mtpa electric arc furnace (EAF) currently under construction, integrated with ArcelorMittal’s HBI facility in Texas, will enable Calvert to supply automotive customers with lower CO2 embodied steel, melted and poured in the United States of America.
With more investments under consideration – a second EAF and a Non-Grain Oriented Electrical Steels line – Calvert will continue to fulfil its critical role in supplying domestic manufacturing industries.
