Pennsylvania Steel Company
Appearance
The Pennsylvania Steel Company was located in Steelton, Pennsylvania. The company's steel mill was established in 1867 along the banks of the Susquehanna River and comprised blast furnaces and a Bessemer process mill.
The company was acquired by Bethlehem Steel in 1917.
The blast furnaces were closed in 1960. Open hearth furnaces continued to operate until 1968, when they were replaced by electric arc furnaces. In 1983 a continuous caster was installed at the plant.
Bethlehem Steel declared bankruptcy in 2001, and the plant was acquired by International Steel Group, which later merged into ArcelorMittal.
