ISG Begins Production at Georgetown Plant

International Steel Group Inc. announced that its ISG Georgetown Inc. subsidiary has begun producing wire rod at its facility in Georgetown, SC.

ISG acquired the facility earlier this summer from Georgetown Steel Co. The plant has annual steelmaking capacity of 1 million tons and rolling capacity of 800,000 tons, along with the capacity to produce 500,000 tons annually of Direct Reduced Iron. The facility had been idle since Georgetown Steel filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this past October.

The Georgetown plant will produce wire rod products.
