About I/N Tek
I/N Tek is a continuous cold-rolling plant that produces sheet
steel of unmatched quality and consistency. A 60/40 joint
venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo
Metal Corporation (NSSMC), I/N Tek enables the combination
of five processes that take 12 days or more to perform via
traditional batch methods. By welding coils end-to-end, the plant
can run them continuously through these processes – pickling,
tandem-rolling, annealing, temper-rolling and inspection –
in less than a day.
The current configuration of I/N Tek breaks this once continuous
process into two separate functions; continuous pickling and
tandem rolling through the Continuous Descale Cold Mill (CDCM),
and continuous annealing, temper rolling, and inspection through
the Continuous Annealing Processing Line (CAPL) in order to give
greater flexibility in providing material to I/N Kote for galvanizing
or galvannealing.
The partnership produces 1.7 million tons annually through
the CDCM and 1.2 million tons annually through the CAPL.
About I/N Kote
I/N Kote is a 50/50 joint venture between ArcelorMittal and
NSSMC, with separate lines producing 500,000 tons of hotdipped galvanized and galvannealed sheet and 400,000 tons
of electrogalvanized sheet annually. I/N Kote sits on about
25 acres of land, adjacent to the I/N Tek site.

Sustainability and corporate responsibility highlights
Our sustainability and corporate responsibility approach is driven by 10
sustainability outcomes that we believe are essential not only for the long-term
future of our business and our ability to deliver value for all stakeholders, but also
for the role that steel has to play in creating high-quality, sustainable lifestyles
for people all over the world. Highlights of five of these 10 outcomes, of which
I/N Tek and I/N Kote play an important role, include:
• Safe, healthy, quality working lives for all of our people: The lost time
injury (LTI) frequency rate in the U.S. in 2015 was 1.33 per million worker
hours, a 15 percent improvement over 2014.
• Efficient use of resources and high recycling rates: Nearly 28 percent
of each ton of steel produced at ArcelorMittal USA is from recycled scrap steel.
• Responsible energy user that helps create a lower carbon future: 24 energy projects resulted in $20 million in energy savings, the equivalent
of powering 25,000 homes a year. Designated ENERGY STAR® partner and Better Buildings, Better Plants member.
• Trusted user of air, land and water: Recognizing the importance of water
within our business, we are a leader and the sole corporate funder of Sustain
Our Great Lakes, a public-private partnership to protect fish, wildlife and
habitat throughout the Great Lakes Basin. The program has made $113.6 million
in conservation investments in the region since 2006.
• Active and welcomed member of the community: Since 2008,
ArcelorMittal USA and its employees have invested over $54 million in nonprofit organizations across the United States. Our signature grantmaking initiative is investing in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
programs at the local and national level.

An example of sustainability at I/N Tek and I/N Kote
I/N Tek and I/N Kote are committed to decreasing their ecological footprint. In
order to achieve their sustainability goals, the facilities implemented a waste
management plan to mitigate industrial wastewater. The plants were presented
the John M. Craddock Award for outstanding contributions to the field of industrial
wastewater management by the Indiana Water Environment Association in 2014.
The association is devoted to the preservation of Indiana fresh waterways and
educating members and citizens alike on the importance of conservation and
