CANTON TimkenSteel will idle its melt and cast operations at the Harrison Steel Mill in a move that could affect about 100 jobs.
Company directors announced the decision, which was made last week, Tuesday morning. According to a filing by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the mill will be idled by the end of March.
Plans are for all steel melting and casting activities to move to the Faircrest Steel Mill, which has seen upgrades in recent years. Finishing operations and rolling mills in the Harrison plant will continue operating.
TimkenSteel currently is reviewing operations at Harrison to determine potential use for the melt and casting equipment, according to information the company filed with the SEC.
