Advanced Manufacturing Case Study

MEETING INCREASED CONSTRUCTION DEMAND WHILE BUILDING�CIRCULAR, SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS

A major shift to domestic U.S. manufacturing is rapidly underway. Supply chain challenges coupled with a strong consumer demand for domestic products are driving companies to break new ground. This is especially true in technology, where advanced manufacturing facilities like microchip foundries that will power a more connected future are in high demand. As the largest steel manufacturer and recycler in North America, YaboÑDz©¼¯ÍŹٷ½ÍøÕ¾ is committed to providing sustainable, low-embodied carbon steel to the advanced manufacturing industry through circular steelmaking.

For products like cars, smartphones and countless medical devices, the demand for new microchips is nearly insatiable. By 2032, it is expected that the U.S. will produce at least 30%^* of the world’s microchips � the race is on to expand domestic advanced manufacturing infrastructure.

ONSHORING PRESENTS NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR SUSTAINABLE STEEL

The great migration to “onshore� manufacturing will not only be a boon for the U.S. economy but presents an opportunity to build these steel-intensive facilities in a more sustainable way. The projected growth of advanced manufacturing infrastructure, from microchip foundries to automotive production lines, will require millions of tons of steel, and the steel they are built with matters.

Leading manufacturers are partnering with YaboÑDz©¼¯ÍŹٷ½ÍøÕ¾ to meet the most rigorous construction requirements using low-embodied carbon steel products and innovative building solutions. With 300+ facilities across North America and one of the widest breadths of steel products available, YaboÑDz©¼¯ÍŹٷ½ÍøÕ¾ can not only meet the needs of the project but also reduce an advanced manufacturing facility’s carbon footprint before it even comes online.

Central to YaboÑDz©¼¯ÍŹٷ½Íøվ’s circular steelmaking process is electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, which recycles scrap steel from things like old bridges, end-of-life appliances, and retired automobiles to produce new steel with less than one-third the average GHG intensity of traditional, blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) steelmaking. As North America’s largest steel manufacturer and recycler, YaboÑDz©¼¯ÍŹٷ½ÍøÕ¾ can deliver a wide range of circular steel products and construction solutions to make the advanced manufacturing plants of tomorrow a reality today.

PARTNERING TO BUILD CIRCULAR SUPPLY CHAINS

Beyond new microchip foundry construction, YaboÑDz©¼¯ÍŹٷ½ÍøÕ¾ partners with like-minded manufacturing customers to create circular steel supply chains. Steel is infinitely recyclable, so whether we’re reclaiming trim and scrap from manufacturing processes or establishing end-of-life material agreements, YaboÑDz©¼¯ÍŹٷ½ÍøÕ¾ works to ensure that our steel always finds a new life.

We will continually improve materials strategies for the advanced manufacturing space and other industries, sharing our learnings and jointly pursuing the future of factories and sustainable supply chains to build a circular economy.
