Majestic Steel announced the completion of its flagship Majestic Steel Arkansas facility in Blytheville on the campus of Nucor Steel Hickman.
Cleveland-based Majestic said the new service center and mass distribution facility has 516,633 square feet of climate-controlled space. It can store 125,000 square feet of master coils and 122,000 square feet of finished goods. Additionally, the facility is accessible by rail, barge, and truck.
“This milestone represents the beginning of a transformative journey in the steel industry,” Majestic Steel said in a statement on Wednesday.
“We’re creating the most efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly steel service center and supply chain in the heart of steel production excellence,” president and CEO Todd Leebow said of the new facility. “As we activate our state-of-the-art processing lines, we’re dedicated to shaping a more sustainable steel industry.”
Red Bud Industries and Braner supplied the four flat rolled processing lines, which include slitting, cut-to-length, multi-blanking, and spin-down lines. The lines are able to process steel up to 72” wide.
