Bayou Steel Corporation owns and operates a steel minimill located on the Mississippi River in LaPlace, Louisiana, 35 miles northwest of New Orleans, Louisiana and a rolling mill in Harriman, Tennessee, 37 miles west of Knoxville. The Company's principal raw material, scrap steel, is melted in electric arc furnaces and continuously cast into billets, then rolled on its two rolling mills into a variety of bars and structural steel shapes. Currently, the Company rolls angles, channels, flats, standard beams, wide-flange beams, rounds, and squares. The products are sold principally to steel service centers that supply various end-users in manufacturing and construction. The Company has over 551 customers in 44 states, Canada, and Mexico. The Company also, occasionally, ships both billets and shapes overseas. The Company has four modern warehouses located at strategic points along the inland waterway system and an additional warehouse in Tennessee, creating a wide geographic market for product distribution. The Company ships substantial quantities of billets and structural steel shapes and receives scrap steel using barge transportation. The Company also utilizes technologically advanced equipment, resulting in product flexibility and significant operating efficiencies. The high productivity of its employees, together with the modern equipment, enable the Company to produce high quality products at a low cost. NOTE: This page was designed with frames.
