Capex Momentum Builds at U.S. Steel Mills

SUGAR LAND--December 4, 2017--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--All of a sudden steel is hot again. Well, maybe not all of a sudden, but there is definitely a noticeable uptick in capital spending plans at steel manufacturing mills in the U.S. Improving economics, a scrutinizing governmental policy on imports and speculation regarding future infrastructure needs all are contributors to the increase in capital spending plans. Industrial Info is tracking 285 projects totaling more than $11.2 billion at steel mills in the U.S., as part of the Metals & Minerals Market Intelligence Platform. About 91% of that total spend is for capital projects and the remaining 9% is for maintenance shutdown work.
