The facility, called Steel Arizona 2, is CMC’s third micro mill and the first in the world to produce rebar and merchant bar quality (MBQ) products through a continuous production process.
“We are very proud to formally open our new state-of-the-art micro steel mill in Mesa, Arizona,” said Peter Matt, CMC president and CEO. “We look forward to providing both our existing and new customers with sustainably manufactured products combined with CMC’s excellent service.”

The microfactory will make CMC a coast-to-coast MBQ manufacturer, the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) detailed.
