" ThyssenKrupp acknowledges that industrial buildings do not necessarily blend into the natural landscape.
Therefore, the new facility will combine context-sensitive design with colors that complement the environment."

RE: Breaking News: ThyssenKrupp in Alabama

So, I take it that this company will be supplying Mercedes the steel for the Vance plant?

They also sent a powerful message to Louisiana, namely New Orleans: Get your act together or you'll never recruit industry. I wonder if them being a finalist was the mother of all appeasements. I talked to a Louisiana resident just this week and he said Nagin and Blanco are complete failures in seeing that Federal Disaster money has been spent wisely and carefully.

Looks like it will be a green steel plant.

These guys will supply the 300 MW the plant is looking for:

An interesting concept at the nearby Big Cajun II power plant is to make diesel from the exhaust.

ThyssenKrupp supplies many carmakers. On the W163 they supplied the box section frame with two longitudinals and tripple crossmembers.

They also make stainless steel, with the tradename NIROSTA. That's on the roof of the Chrysler building in NYC since 1929.
