Burns Harbor is capable of producing annually 5.2 million tons of hot-rolled sheet, cold-rolled sheet, corrosion-resistant coated sheet and steel plates. It is a major supplier of sheet and plate products to the automotive, service center, construction, machinery and appliance markets. The Division operates a galvanizing line and coke oven battery in Lackawanna, N.Y., and participates in a joint venture that owns and operates an electro-galvanizing line in Walbridge, Ohio.

But, Burns Harbor is more than the nation’s finest steelmaking facility. It’s an individual business unit, responsible for its own marketing, production and financial performance. As a separate business unit, the Burns Harbor Division is better able to achieve close partnerships with customers and respond quickly to their needs.

Location, visionary plant layout and a total commitment to its employees, community and the environment make Burns Harbor a model in the steelmaking industry.
From its very beginning in 1962, Burns Harbor was planned and built to be a leader in every way. A leader in plant design and layout to maximize efficiency throughout every phase of the steelmaking process. A leader that has formed a partnership with its employees to make the best steel in the world. A leader that is committed to being a good corporate citizen and protecting and improving the environment. A leader that prides itself on its sophisticated technology and skilled workforce.

The right location ... for customers, for raw material sourcing, for water, for the future.
In the early 1960s, when Bethlehem was looking for a site on which to construct a new steelmaking complex, being close to customers was the first priority. Today, Burns Harbor lies in the heart of America’s largest market for steel plate and sheet products. In addition, Burns Harbor has easy access to rail, water and highway shipping routes and is ideally situated for raw material sourcing.
