Ladle #11 has quite the story-originally built in our Irving, TX, USA facility in 1991 for Chaparral Steel (now Gerdau North America)
Since then, it has returned to our shop ๐๐ญ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ฌ for refurbishment and repair, including its most recent rebuild on May 8, 2026.
Pretty impressive to see something built over 30 years ago still out there doing its job.
We've shared photos here, and there's also a short video of its latest rebirth on our LinkedIn page.

Built with pride then.
Rebuilt with pride today.
