PUEBLO PROUD LEGACY Our heritage dates back to 1872 with the founding of the Central Colorado Improvement Company, four years before Colorado became a state. Rail production started in 1881 as the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company (CF&I), helping to build the American west by providing affordable steel and iron to the western territories and the nation’s expanding rail systems. WHO WE ARE EVRAZ Rocky Mountain Steel employs about 1,300 team members at its Pueblo facility. We are the largest producer of rail in North America, manufacturing more than 580,000 tons of rail annually. Our steelmaking operation melts more than 1.25 million tons of recycled metal scrap in its electric arc furnace each year to make more than 300 different grades of steel. The facility also manufactures seamless pipe for the energy sector, as well as wire rod and coiled reinforcing bar for construction, automotive and specialty industries. INVESTMENT AND INNOVATION EVRAZ has invested over $100 million in the Pueblo facility over the last several years, with upgrades to the rail mill, steelmaking and the addition of an advanced product technology center. Our most recent innovation – Apex™ G2 next generation rail – was designed to provide Class I railroads with a best-in-class life cycle cost advantage through superior wear, rolling contact fatigue, fracture toughness, ductility and weldability performance.
