01/02/2025
Hot-rolled coil producer North Star BlueScope Steel plans to expand its operations in Fulton County, Ohio. The $130 million project is expected to create up to 30 jobs.

The investment will enhance overall mill stability and throughput. The expansion is scheduled for completion in 2027.

“I believe we have the most committed and engaged team of professionals in the steel industry. Our people are as passionate about the steel we produce for our customers as they are for the communities we live in across Northwest Ohio and Southern Michigan,” Conrad Winkler, North Star BlueScope President said. “We have grown North Star’s capabilities as part of BlueScope while preserving our ability to remain agile for our customers who depend on us to deliver consistent quality, on-time,” Winkler said. “We’re also proud of our collective contributions to Fulton County communities and beyond. This is where our team members live and raise their families.”

North Star BlueScope Steel delivers hot rolled bands to coil processors, cold roll strip producers, original equipment manufacturers, steel pipe & tube industry and steel service centers.

“North Star BlueScope’s continued investment in Fulton County reflects Ohio’s strength in the steel industry, the unrivaled talent of Ohio’s workforce, and how companies can thrive in our supportive manufacturing environment,” noted JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “The company’s growth and forward-thinking approach to new business means significant capital investment in its facilities and 30 new jobs to meet rising customer demand.”

“The Fulton County Economic Development Corporation is thrilled at the growth experienced at North Star BlueScope Steel, one of the largest manufacturing businesses in Fulton County,” added Matt Gilroy, executive director, Fulton County Economic Development Corporation. “This investment, made shortly after the massive $700 million investment at North Star a few years ago, shows the commitment that BlueScope has in Delta and the trust that the company has in the workforce in Northwest Ohio.”
