Voestalpine doubles production capacity at Indiana plant with 70 million Euro investment

Austrian steelmaker Voestalpine has announced the official opening of a new manufacturing facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana, doubling the plant's production capacity as part of a 70 million euro investment aimed at strengthening its position in the North American commercial vehicle market.

The new plant, which is currently in the startup phase and is expected to reach full capacity by mid-2027, produces high-quality longitudinal beams for Class. 6, 7 and 8 trucks. According to the company, the expansion will allow it to fulfill long-term supply agreements with major North American truck manufacturers, while strengthening its position in the commercial vehicle sector.

Jeffersonville's capacity will reach 80,000 tons per year

After the expansion, the annual production capacity of the Jeffersonville plant will increase to 80,000 tons, double the previous level. The project also includes the addition of approximately 15,000 square meters of production space and the installation of new production equipment for the production of high-quality longitudinal beams.

Commenting on the investment, Voestalpine CEO Herbert Eibensteiner stated that the project strengthens the company's strategy "locally for the local population", strengthening its presence in a strategically important market and maintaining closer cooperation with international customers.
