RG Steel

, , , ,
The former RG Steel plant in Martins Ferry, Ohio photographed Thursday, January 28, 2021 in Wheeling, West Virginia. The steel mill, once part of Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp., was known as a “pickling plant,” where acid was used in the steel finishing galvanizing process. Part of the plant now is occupied by fracking sludge recycler Austin Master Services. Ohio Coatings also stores steel coils there. At one time the plant employed more than 2,000 people. Wheeling businessman Quay Mull purchased the former mill for $2 million during RG Steel’s bankruptcy sale in 2012. RG Steel was formed when the Renco Group bought the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel mills in Warren, Ohio, and Sparrows Point, Md., from Russia’s Severstal in 2011. Prior to Severstal, the Martins Ferry plant and other Wheeling-Pitt facilities were acquired by Esmark Inc. during a 2007 merger with Wheeling-Pitt. (© James D.
