Quanex Expanding Operations at MacSteel Plant

The expansion will add a fourth quench & temper line with induction heating similar to the facility's existing three lines. It will also involve a building expansion and a new high speed, state-of-the-art, precision cutting line for specific product applications.

Mark Marcucci, president of MacSteel, noted, "MacSteel's Heat Treat business has grown significantly in recent years because of its commitment to meeting customer needs. This expansion project, scheduled for completion in early 2007, will add 16,000 tons of additional bar and tube capacity, increase the size range of our products, and expand our value-added services."
