U.S. Steel restarts Blast Furnace #8 at Gary Works

2023-03-20

Mar. 20, 2023 - U.S. Steel has restarted the No. 8 blast furnace at its flagship Gary Works steel mill.


The Pittsburgh-based steelmaker, one of the Region's largest employers, idled both the No. 3 blast furnace at Mon Valley Works in Pennsylvania and the No. 8 furnace in Gary last year after steel prices came down from historic highs in 2021 amid fears of a looming recession.


U.S. Steel has restarted both blast furnaces over the past couple of weeks as market conditions have improved.


The steelmaker said it restarted the blast furnace because of rising demand and improving prices.


Steelmakers have gone from facing headwinds to getting winds behind their sales thus far this year. The steel industry has especially benefited as automakers have ramped production back up after being hamstrung by semiconductor chip and other supply chain shortages in recent years.
