After five years, and plenty of delays,
Algoma Steel finally revealed its fully upgraded plate mill to the world on
Tuesday.
This roughly
$135-million modernization project, which boosts the company’s annual shipped
plate capacity from 450,000 tons to 650,000 tons, was given the ribbon cutting
treatment during a grand opening ceremony that featured the likes of Algoma
Steel CEO Michael Garcia and Sault Ste. Marie Mayor Matthew Shoemaker.
