PROFILE |
 |
J & L Specialty Steel rolls its own. The company makes various grades of stainless steel, including hot- and cold-rolled sheet and strip, and continuous mill plate. Its steel is used in industrial and commercial products such as kitchen appliances and utensils, as well as in automobile trim and exhaust systems. J & L's Midland, Pennsylvania plant operates a DRAP production line. DRAP stands for direct roll (flattening), anneal (strengthening), and pickle (cleaning). The line, the first of its kind in the world, is touted to complete in 20 minutes what would take a conventional mill two weeks to complete. The company also has a mill in Louisville, Kentucky. J & L is a subsidiary of French steelmaker Usinor.
