At a time when nobody thought we'd ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. Today Steel Dynamics is one of the largest steel producers in the United States.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The steel business is a local business. We do believe in the U.S. economy and would like to have a strong, balanced presence here.
I strongly believe that for the steel prices to be market-driven, without distortions, we need to substantially increase the production capacity.
Texas has long been known as the nation's largest energy producer, but we are equally proud of our distinction as the nation's leading energy innovator.
In India, because of the huge investments materialising in industry and infrastructure projects, the demand for steel has grown much faster than anticipated.
Global overcapacity in steel production can no longer be ignored. Foreign governments' intervention in steel markets has had a devastating impact on the U.S. industry.
You can't work in a steel mill and think small. Giant converters hundreds of feet high. Every night, the sky looked enormous. It was a torrent of flames - of fire. The place that Pittsburgh used to be had such scale.
The United States as we know it today is largely the result of mechanical inventions, and in particular of agricultural machinery and the railroad.
The U.S. is becoming an industrial heartland again.
America is our biggest market, and I really do believe if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
What auto and steel is to Ohio River Valley, refineries are to the oil regions. You wouldn't tell Silicon Valley you're going to put a moratorium on high-tech.
