Cleveland-Cliffs hosted a ribbon cutting on July 2 for its new $ 150 million stainless steel bright annealing line at Coshocton Works in Ohio.

Speakers included Lourenco Goncalves, chairman, president and CEO at Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.; Sen. Bernie Moreno; Sen. Jon Husted; Congressman Troy Balderson; Secretary

of State Frank LaRose; and United Auto Workers Local 3462 President Kurt Knicely.
