About the company
U. S. Steel’s Fairfield Works is an active steelmaking and finishing facility in Fairfield, Alabama, west of Birmingham. The operation includes a state-of-the-art electric arc furnace capable of producing approximately 1.6 million tons annually, along with casting and finishing equipment used to manufacture steel products. Fairfield Works supplies steel to nearby tubular operations and produces coated flat-rolled products for industries including automotive, appliances, and metal building components. The facility is part of U. S. Steel’s broader domestic manufacturing network and continues to receive major investment. In 2026, U. S. Steel advanced a new $475 million quench-and-tempering project at the nearby Fairfield Tubular Operations and continued investment in the Alabama steel complex. Fairfield Works is located at 5700 Valley Road in Fairfield, Alabama. Its integrated steelmaking, casting, finishing, and coating capabilities make it a genuine steel manufacturing facility rather than a distributor or fabrication-only operation.
