Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, located in Oregon and owned by Schnitzer Steel Industries, produces billets, rebar, and wire rod for the building, infrastructure, and energy sectors, with an annual EAF crude steel capacity of 860,000 tonnes. Recent satellite observations indicate a decrease in production activity at the plant.
The following table details the monthly aggregated thermal activity observed at Cascade Steel Rolling Mills.
Activity in the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF_0) remained relatively stable from February to June 2025. A noticeable downward trend began in July and continued into August, suggesting a potential reduction in steel production. This decline contrasts with a slight increase in overall US steel production year-to-date, as reported in “US raw steel production is down 0.8 percent – week 30, 2025“.
For steel buyers and market analysts, this dip at Cascade Steel Rolling Mills may signal localized supply constraints for rebar and wire rod in the Pacific Northwest. Simultaneously, monitoring broader production trends, such as those detailed in “ArcelorMittal produced 29.2 million tons of steel in 1H2025” and “MMK’s crude steel output down 18.2% in H1 2025“, is essential to understanding global market dynamics affecting pricing and availability.
