07/25/2024
South Korea-based SeAH Changwon Integrated Special Steel Corporation (SeAH CSS) plans to establish metal manufacturing operations in Temple, Texas. The $110 million project is expected to create more than 100 jobs.

The new facility, located on 45 acres in Temple’s Industrial Park, will produce 6,000 tons of special alloys annually which will cater to industries such as aerospace, power generation, automotive, and oil & gas. Commercial production is scheduled to begin in 2026.

“Texas has always been a fantastic partner in every aspect of our journey to the U.S.,” said SeAH Changwon Integrated Special Steel Co-CEO Junghoon “Jay” Lee. “The opportunities that the state offers will allow us to thrive in the fast-growing North American market. SeAH also strongly desires to become a great addition to the community of Texas. We are excited to establish our new facility in Temple, Texas. This strategic location will enable us to better serve our North American customers and expand our global footprint. We look forward to becoming an integral part of the Temple community and contributing to its economic growth.”

SeAH CSS, a subsidiary of SeAH Group, is a manufacturer of high-tech industrial materials, including stainless steel, tool steel, and carbon alloy steel.

“Texas is the premier destination for business growth, which is why companies from across the globe continue to choose our state to expand their operations,” noted Governor Greg Abbott. “SeAH Group’s $110 million investment in Temple is a testament to the unique and unmatched business opportunities the Lone Star State has to offer businesses. I look forward to welcoming SeAH group’s new manufacturing facility to Texas and continuing to work with them to bring even more investments and jobs to our state.”

“We are thrilled to welcome SeAH Superalloy Technologies to Temple, Texas,” added John Howe, Chairman of the Board for Temple EDC. “This project is a testament to the strength of our region in attracting foreign direct investment, which will further bolster Temple’s economic growth and global connections. Temple’s strategic location and robust infrastructure continue to attract world-class companies like SeAH Group, reinforcing our position as a prime destination for business growth and innovation.”
