About the Cover
In August 2009, V&M STAR, Youngstown, Ohio, USA, completed the installation of an $18 million baghouse for the EAF-based seamless tube producer. This project has resulted in a 40% reduction in meltshop emissions, representing a cleaner environment for the 425 employees and surrounding community. V&M STAR recently announced a $650 million expansion, including the construction of an additional seamless tube mill with heat treating, end finishing and shipping facilities.
