U. S. Steel to Restart Gary Tin Mill, Boosting Domestic Production and Supply
04/16/2026 - United States Steel Corporation announced it will restart the Gary Tin Mill at its Gary Works facility in Gary, Ind., USA.
The company said the purpose of the restart is to provide its customers with better access to tin mill products that are mined, melted and made in America. The restart is expected to cost about US$15–20 million. The associated costs are to ensure operations are ready for start-up, including equipment inspections, maintenance and materials for production.
“Customers are increasingly focused on securing dependable domestic supply they can count on over the long term,” said David Burritt, president and chief executive officer of U. S. Steel.
The products produced at the tin mill will be used for food and beverage packaging, aerosol products, oil filtration goods and other end markets, the company said.
“Restarting the Gary Tin Mill positions us to serve that demand, support domestic manufacturing and strengthen critical U.S. supply chains — including those that help support American farmers and food producers — provided trade is fair and enforced,” Burritt continued.
The company said it expects the restart to happen in early 2027 and will support about 225 new jobs. The timing is intended to align with the annual contracting cycle for tin mill products.
The announcement comes after U. S. Steel and the United Steelworkers on 9 April filed antidumping duty petitions against tin mill products from China, Taiwan and Turkey along with a countervailing duty petition against subsidized imports of tin mill products from China.
