10/09/2014 - TimkenSteel announced the decision to locate an advanced quench-and-temper facility in Northeast Ohio to produce more value-added steel for demanding applications.
"Our investment in additional value-added operations feeds growing sales of our most sophisticated product lines, which meet the needs of demanding applications in energy and other markets," said Shawn J. Seanor, executive vice president of Energy and Distribution.
