纽约——被日本日本制铁收购的美国钢铁公司周四表示，计划投资约30亿美元，在其位于宾夕法尼亚州的蒙瓦利工厂新建一座热轧带钢轧机。
New York – United States Steel, which was acquired by Japan’s Nippon Steel, said Thursday that it plans to invest about $3 billion to build a hot-strip mill at its Mon Valley Works in Pennsylvania.
该项目预计将成为日本制铁在收购美国钢铁公司时承诺——到2028年投资110亿美元——下的最大单项投资。热轧带钢轧机将加热至高温的钢坯轧制成薄板。
The project is expected to be the largest under Nippon Steel’s commitment — made as part of its acquisition of U.S. Steel — to invest $11 billion by 2028. A hot-strip mill rolls steel slabs heated to high temperatures into thin sheets.
美国钢铁公司目标是在2029年下半年实现该轧机投产。该厂址将支持汽车用钢板等产品的增产，这是日本制铁的强项之一，并将增强美国钢铁公司的竞争力。
U.S. Steel aims to begin production at the mill in the second half of 2029. The site will allow for expanding output of automotive steel sheets, one of the areas in which Nippon Steel excels, and other products to bolster the U.S. company’s competitiveness.
日本制铁最初计划在三年内向蒙瓦利工厂投资最多25亿美元。预计成本上升反映了劳动力成本上涨和通货膨胀。日本制铁于2025年6月完成对美国钢铁公司的收购。
Nippon Steel had initially planned to invest up to $2.5 billion in Mon Valley Works over three years. The projected cost has risen to reflect higher labor costs and inflation. Nippon Steel completed its acquisition of U.S. Steel in June 2025.
受中国产能过剩导致市场疲软以及中东局势紧张引发成本上升影响，这家日本钢企的国内业务一直举步维艰。
The Japanese steelmaker’s domestic operations have struggled with weak market conditions caused by excess production in China and rising costs stemming from tensions in the Middle East.
在此背景下，美国钢铁公司助力日本制铁在2026年4至6月季度实现扭亏为盈，成为该日本公司所谓的“最大盈利驱动力”。此次收购似乎开始见效。
Against this backdrop, U.S. Steel contributed to Nippon Steel’s return to the black in the April-June quarter of 2026, emerging as what the Japanese company called its biggest earnings driver. The acquisition appears to be beginning to pay off.
