Background

Severstal North America is a steelmaker in the United States with headquarters located in Dearborn, Michigan. Severstal North America produces high-quality flat-rolled carbon steel products, including hot rolled, cold rolled, electro-galvanized, and hot-dip galvanized. Major markets include automotive, appliance, construction, container, converter, service center and other industries.

Pursuing its commitment to an exceptional quality product and to the protection of human and environmental health, Severstal North America facilities have earned TS 16949, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 certifications, the international standards for quality, health and safety, and environmental management systems, respectively.

Severstal North America is a wholly owned subsidiary of OAO Severstal, Russia’s largest steelmaker by volume and one of the most global.

To further extend its participation in additional value-added products, Severstal North America has several joint ventures for electrogalvanizing and hot-dipped galvanizing. These operations supply the highest quality coated steel products with unparalleled precision to demanding customers. The joint ventures are located in Michigan, close to major consuming markets including the automotive industry.

History of the Company

The company was founded in 2004 with the acquisition by OAO Severstal of substantially all of assets of the former Rouge Industries and its operating subsidiary Rouge Steel Company. Alexey Mordashov, OAO Severstal’s Chief Executive Officer, hailed the purchase of Severstal Dearborn as an important milestone in the global consolidation of the steel industry. He viewed the acquisition as an opportunity to combine the best qualities of the respective companies and to strengthen their economic effectiveness and market position.

In 2005, Severstal entered into a joint venture agreement to develop SeverCorr, the newest mini mill in the United States. In early 2008, Severstal acquired the full ownership of SeverCorr, which is located in Columbus, Miss., and renamed the facility Severstal Columbus. The purchase of this electric-arc furnace shop, built in the mid 2000s, allowed Severstal North America to expand into the growing market for light flat rolled steel products in the southeastern United States.
