This is the location of the steel mill in Georgetown, formerly known as Georgetown Steel.

In 2003, the mill shut down due to economic competition with China, among other factors. The mill was purchsed by the former International Steel Group (ISG), who reopened the mill. ISG was then purchased in 2005 by Mittal, who subsequently merged with Arcelor. It is now named ArcelorMittal Steel.

The steel mill was established in 1969 in Georgetown, South Carolina and operates in the wire rod sector of the steel industry. US shipments of wire rod are about 6 million tons per year and accounts for 5% of the total US steel market. The mill sells primarily to domestic wire drawers that process wire rod into products for diverse end use applications, including the automotive, construction, industrial and consumer industries.

The plant operates two electric arc furnaces and is capable of producing 1 million tons of liquid steel annually and 750,000 tons of wire rod.
