Background

The Steelton steel plant was built by Pennsylvania Steel Company and began operating in 1866. It was bought by Bethlehem Steel in 1917;[1] in 2003, Bethlehem Steel was bought by ISG for $1.5 billion in 2003. In 2007, ArcelorMittal acquired ISG (and the plant) for $4.5 billion.[2][3] The facility was then bought in 2020 by Cleveland Cliffs (the current owner) in a $1.4 billion deal with ArcelorMittal.[4]
