Background

The Charter Steel Cleveland plant, originally known as the Cuyahoga Works, was built in 1907 by the American Steel & Wire Company (which was owned by U.S. Steel). The American Steel & Wire Company sold the plant for around $52 million in 1993 to Birmingham Steel, who kept it running until 2001, when it was shut down. Charter Steel then bought the site in 2002 and invested around $125 million into expanding it, beginning construction in 2004. The plant then began operating as an electric steel plant in 2006.

In 2017, Charter Steel announced it was planning to build a new $150 million mill adjacent to its Cleveland plant, which would be operational by mid-2018, but as of 2021, no further updates on this project have been published.
