You should contact them and suggest it.
Should be a relatively easy product to produce and one regularly used.

Well...i can just imagine hundreds of smaller steel mills or even thousands of smaller smelting plants using modern technology that recycles steel scrap just for rebar, flood the market, right now good rebar is too expensive.

I’ve been in the concrete business for 22 years, seen the ill effects of cheap rebar.

Sounds like you need a partner and should get to work! Good central locations. to a recycle areas. Start with one and expand from there. Go for it.

Trump has been producing jobs, while all the left has been producing is excuses for why they lost.

I work in a rail yard. If you look at steel rail, you will notice that characters are imprinted into the web of that rail, as part of the rolling process. The characters that are rolled in describe the manufacturer, the weight per yard of rail, and the year that it was produced.
I am
Almost all of the rail that I have seen is marked as being rolled by “STEELTON”, and all of it is well over 20 years old.

Currently, we buy steel rail from Korea, because no US steel mill can roll the amount of rail that we need.

I would love to see that change.

“Our focus is going to be a domestic mill using domestic feedstock,” Mr. Norris said.

There have been major capacity issues in the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays. I suspected this was coming to meet this demand. Now, the Republican Congress in Pennsylvania needs to grow a spine and neuter Wolf.

Pennsylvania has the potential to be one of the lead energy states in the world.

Speaking of China, pollution is so bad there that visibility is down to 50m. They declared an emergency over the whole country.

If I am not mistaken, U.S. Steel is doing better these days. The actual company. Ticker symbol X.

And that area could use the boost. It is really depressed there and the jobs will be welcome. lets hope that Trump does a full 8 years and bring back more jobs.

Steel mill is a bit big you know, but my hobby is sword and knife making plus forging, i’d love to build my own casting plant. Very doable.

Great news. Not too long ago, Rogue Fitness told their customers that they want to keep as much of their supply chain in the United States as possible, but they apparently had a hell of a time finding a domestic steel supplier that could keep up with their volume requirements. Rogue is a pretty big company, but how sad is it that we don’t even produce that much steel here anymore (they did find someone eventually)? This is badly needed.
