United States Steel LLC is permanently closing its remaining cold rolling and tin mill operations at Fairless Works in Fairless Hills near Philadelphia. The facilities are capable of producing approximately 1.5 million tons annually of cold rolled steel and tin mill products.
The facility is scheduled to close around Nov. 12.
The company's current intent, subject to market conditions, is to continue operating the hot dip galvanizing line as the plant's only remaining operating unit.
Production at the operation will be phased out during the fourth quarter in such a way that U. S. Steel's other facilities will be able to provide reliable, continuous service to all current Fairless customers.
