Kyoei Steel is building a 38 billion yen electric furnace facility in the US

The company announced on August 26 that it will build a new electric furnace and comprehensively upgrade its rolling equipment with this investment worth approximately 38 billion yen (approximately $250 million).

With the commissioning of the new facility, the company aims to resolve efficiency issues in its existing production line, increase productivity, and reduce costs.
