Steel Dynamics has taken full control of New Process Steel by buying the remaining 55 % stake in the Houston based metals solutions & supply chain firm, already its largest flat roll customer. The deal adds six plants across the United States & Mexico, 1,275 employees & decades of expertise built under chief executive Richard Fant. It strengthens Steel Dynamics’ move into value added manufacturing & supports its scrap based, lower CO₂ steel & planned aluminum operations. OREACO explains how this vertical integration reshapes the group’s market power & climate strategy.
