Originally founded as Hyundai Hysco America in April 2003 with an initial investment of $29M in Greenville, Alabama, the company’s original goal was to provide full material support to Hyundai Motors Alabama. In 2009, a second warehouse facility was constructed in West Point, Georgia, to help service customers in the area and expand the company’s existing consumer base. Then in July 2013, it was announced that Hyundai Hysco would merge its Cold Rolled Steel Division with Hyundai Steel Company Ltd. Two years later, with their merger fully completed, Hyundai Hysco officially changed its name to Hyundai Steel America, Inc., in July 2015. Now, as part of one of the world’s largest steel manufacturers, the company has continued growing in order to serve many customers across Central Alabama and West Georgia.

Being an integral part of the automotive industry, Hyundai Steel is dedicated to developing materials that make automobiles lighter and safer by utilizing state-of-the-art technologies such as tailor welded blanks (TWB). At its Greenville facility, Hyundai Steel can produce almost 4,000,000 TWBs per year. This type of cutting-edge technology creates better fuel efficiency, reinforces shock-resistance for enhanced safety, and reduces harmful gas emissions – a leading cause of climate change. In addition to its three TWB lines, Hyundai Steel is also able to provide many other high quality steel products. Its two slitter lines are capable of processing 175,000 tons per year; its blanking press, 6,000,000 pieces per year; and its shear line, 10,000,000 pieces per year.

Hyundai Steel America plays a key role in the resource circulation chain from raw steel to fully functioning automobile, and the diverse capabilities of its facilities and machinery mean that it can service many different types of customers. But in order to continue growing, it must provide newer products and differentiated services that exceed customer expectations. As a part of the Hyundai Steel Co. Ltd. family, Hyundai Steel America, Inc., will continue preparing for a greater future using its vision of 'Leading the New Era of Steel.'
