Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel plans to restart the Gary Tin Mill at the company’s Gary Works facility in Gary, Ind., in early 2027, pending the completion of maintenance, the procurement of materials, and work force readiness.
The restart will cost between $15 million and $20 million in related costs and will allow the company to provide customers with American-made tin mill products and secure the domestic tin mill supply chain long term.
“Customers are increasingly focused on securing dependable domestic supply they can count on over the long term,” David Burritt, U.S. Steel President and CEO, said. “Restarting the Gary Tin Mill positions us to serve that demand, support domestic manufacturing, and strengthen critical U.S. supply chains — including those that help support American farmers and food producers—provided trade is fair and enforced.”
The mill will produce products that are used in multiple applications such as aerosol products, food and beverage packaging, oil filtration goods, and other critical end markets.
Restarting the mill is expected to support approximately 225 jobs.
The timing of the restart is aligned with the annual contracting cycle for tin mill products and is intended to position the facility to support customer needs.
