Strategic Expansion into the U.S. Market
SeAH Superalloy Technologies is set to expand its global presence by establishing its first manufacturing facility in the United States. Located in Temple, Texas, the plant represents a significant investment of $110 million by the company. The new facility, a subsidiary of SeAH Changwon Integrated Special Steel (SeAH CSS), will create 100 new jobs in the area and is slated to begin operations in 2026. Once operational, it will produce 6,000 tons of special alloys each year, catering primarily to the North American market.
Industry and Government Leaders Applaud the Move
The CEO of SeAH CSS, Junghoon “Jay” Lee, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture. “Opening our facility in Temple, Texas, is a strategic decision that enhances our ability to serve our North American customers and broadens our global reach,” said Lee. He also highlighted the company’s commitment to integrating into the Temple community and boosting local economic growth.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott also praised SeAH Superalloy Technologies’ decision to choose Texas for their expansion, citing it as evidence of Texas’ leading position as a hub for business growth and innovation. “The $110 million investment by the SeAH Group not only underscores the robust business environment of Texas but also promises new jobs and economic prosperity for the state,” Abbott stated.
