Steel for America's military will once again be "Made in USA."
Posted by scapozzola on 07/25/2012
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has restored a 35-year rule requiring that steel purchased by the U.S. military be 100 percent domestically produced. The rule, originally overturned by DoD in 2009, requires armor plate steel to be both melted and finished in the United States. Several Ohio companies, including Cleveland’s ArcelorMittal and Cliffs Natural Resources and Marion’s Nucor, are involved in the production of Armor plate.
