Title: "How It's Made" about local steel mill
Post by: pigman on January 25, 2008, 08:18:19 PM
Tonight at 9 PM EST on the Science Channel our little county's stainless steel mill will be featured. The mill is North American Stainless and is a Spanish owned company. I know several workers at the mill and will be watching to see if I recognize anyone.

Bill you didn't miss much. That segment only lasted about 5 minutes. It will be repeated several times in the next several days.
It was orignally a Spanish owned mill, but with all the buyouts and mergers it might be owned by someone from Mars now. The plant manger is from Spain and while the plant was under construction several local workers were sent to Spain to be trained.
The only person that was shown was a crane operator and I didn't recognize him.  My neighbor works for a contractor and moves the big melting pots.

I caught an episode where they were building lawnmowers. :D :D They then got into making gold jewelry chain. That show is fascinating.
