I certaintly do not know. Please enlighten me.
Okay.
The River Rouge steel plant, built by Henry Ford in the early 1900s was sold off to a consotium which ran it for a few years until they sold it to Severstal North America, who invested a ton of cash in it and now operates it at a profit, supplying the Detroit car makers. They built a new plant in Columbus, MS in the mid 2000s and doubled its capacity recently, supplying steel for car factories, lawnmowers and all sorts of companies across the South. They also bought a plant in Wheeling, WV. They are the 4th largest steel company in the US.
Severstal employees get discounts on new cars just like the UAW folks.
Severstal NA is the US division of OAO Severstal based in Russia.
