Commercial Metals Company announced, as the next phase of its long-term growth strategy, a plan to construct another micro mill geographically situated to primarily serve the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Mid-Western United States markets. CMC believes that the location and capabilities of the planned facility will significantly augment CMC's scale in the Eastern U.S. and synergistically complement its existing operational footprint. CMC is currently in the site selection process and exploring several suitable options.

The new micro mill will be among the most environmentally friendly steelmaking operations in the world. The technology to be employed is lower in both energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional steelmaking processes.
