We have begun building partnerships with local non-profits, schools and universities and are already supporting charitable and economic development efforts. Our company and its team members intend to be an involved and integral part of Alabama and the Mobile area community for many generations to come.
Q: Did ThyssenKrupp Steel USA exist before this project?
A: No. ThyssenKrupp Steel has been producing and processing high-quality steel in Europe for nearly two hundred years. While other ThyssenKrupp companies operated in the U.S., ThyssenKrupp Steel USA will be the first company to process steel. We are in in the process of not only building our facility, but our Team, internal processes and culture as well.
