Info

Chaparral Steel is the second largest producer of structural steel products in North America and a major producer of steel bar products, operating two mini-mills located in Midlothian, Texas and Dinwiddie County, Virginia. When combined, the mills have an annual rated production capacity of 2.8 million tons of steel. Operations began at the Texas plant in July 1973 as a mini-mill producer of steel bar products with an annual capacity of 0.25 million tons and have since grown through internal expansion. In 1999, construction was completed of a modern, low-cost structural steel plant in Virginia, which nearly doubled the structural steel capacity and expanded the product line. Products are marketed throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico, and to a limited extent in Europe. Products are sold to steel service centers and steel fabricators for use in the construction industry, as well as to cold finishers, forgers and original equipment manufacturers for use in the railroad, defense, automotive, manufactured housing and energy industries.
