Steel manufacturer Hybar plans to expand its operations in Osceola, Arkansas.

The $1.1 billion project will include the construction of a new scrap metal recycling steel rebar mill adjacent to the company’s existing facility that will double the company’s rebar production capacity to approximately 1.3 million tons annually.

“We have a great site with three modes of transportation; best in class technology; and outstanding highly motivated employees, but what truly differentiates Hybar is our ‘can-do’ ‘get-it-done’ culture. Empowering employees, stripping away bureaucracy, pushing decision making down to the mill floor, and constantly looking for better, faster, more sustainable ways to make steel are the keys to Hybar’s success,” said Dave Stickler, CEO of Hybar.

Hybar manufactures steel reinforcing bar using recycled scrap metal and advanced electric arc furnace technology. The company’s products are used in infrastructure, data center, healthcare, energy, and commercial construction projects.

“Hybar is a true success story, building state-of-the-art facilities and producing sustainable steels using scrap metal in northeastern Arkansas,” noted Clint O'Neal, Executive Director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “Hybar is continuing to invest in Arkansas thanks to our state's infrastructure, workforce, and favorable business climate. We are proud of this growing partnership and look forward to many more years of Hybar's success in our state.”
