Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Columbus, Mississippi, United States:
- Location: 1945 Airport Road / P.O. Box 1467, Columbus, Mississippi 39701, United States
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 33.447580, -88.572683 (exact)
Background
Steel Dynamics Columbus began operating in 2007. It was originally owned and operated by Severstal, but Steel Dynamics purchased the plant for $1.6 billion in 2015.[1]
In 2014, the plant was fined $135,000 after the facility's emissions exceeded local limits.[1]
In 2018, Steel Dynamics announced it would invest $140 million to add a third galvanizing line at Columbus with an expected completion date of 2020. It also announced another simultaneous investment of $90-100 million over the next two years to upgrade its process lines and hot strip mill capabilities.[2]
In June 2021, one of the plant's furnaces was closed unexpectedly for a week after some technical difficulties.[3]
