A $500 million electric arc furnace at the AM/NS Calvert Mill in Mobile County is expected to add 300 jobs and a major new capability for the former ThyssenKrupp plant.

ArcelorMittal, which now operates the facility in a partnership with Nippon Steel Corp., announced plans today to add the electric arc furnace, or EAF, capable of producing 1.5 metric tons of steel annually. That’s enough to build 214 Eiffel Towers and get more than a quarter of a way complete on another one.

Most importantly, it will allow the mill to produce slabs of steel on site. Currently, those slabs are imported from Brazil.
