Ohio has always been a well-known state for production of many things. But the steel industry is one of the products that made Ohio what it is today, that's why we at Ohio Galvanized Tube are proud to call North Central Ohio home!
The first blast furnace was created in Ohio in 1802, the same year that the state was admitted to the Union, but by the short period of time to 1853, Cleveland became the third-largest iron and steel city in the whole country at the time. This led to the growth of Akron, Canton and Youngstown, which made the Cuyahoga and Mahoning Valleys some of the best performing steel and iron cities throughout the nation. The ever-continuing expansion to the western part of the continent provided more opportunities for Ohio as more and more steel was needed to create the railroads that would lead people to the new territories. As companies began to integrate in the early 1900s, Ohio remained competitive with the help of new strategies by the American Iron and Steel Institute. By that time the Mahoning Valley was creating 9% of the country's pig iron.
By the late 1900s iron and steel production was vastly changing. Recession and inflation hit the production lines hard, but after a long period of uncertainty, Ohio and the nation restored their steel and iron capabilities to profitability. This was mainly the result of merging companies, new technologies and revamped union and work rules. As of today, Ohio still produces as much steel as we did before the hard time of the late 1990s.
