Big River Steel

In Mississippi County Since:
2017
Number of Employees:
650

In 2017, Big River Steel began operations at its $1.3 billion scrap metal recycling and flat-rolled steel production facility. Since then, Big River Steel has provided steel to over 225 customers in the automotive, energy, construction and agricultural industries. Based on its early success, Big River Steel completed its Phase Two expansion in November of 2020 to enhance its product capabilities, further improve the efficiency of operations, and continue its development of the most demanding steel grades, including steel grades used in hybrid and electrical vehicles. 

Although transportation is the main reason for locating in Mississippi County, other assets positively support successful Big River Steel operations. Favorable electrical rates, the business-friendly attitude of state and local officials, and proximity to both the northern and southern auto corridor were all also considerations. But by far the greatest advantage to Mississippi County and the surrounding area was, and remains, the dedicated men and women who have joined the Big River team.

Our location in Osceola is “steel mill heaven” because of our proximity to a main line railroad, major highways, and the Mississippi River allows us to easily receive raw materials, including recycled scrap, and ship steel via a variety of methods of transportation that can reach across the country.
