U. S. Steel, with executive offices in Pittsburgh, manufactures and sells a wide variety of steel mill products, coke and taconite pellets. Primary steel operations include the Gary (Indiana) Works, the Fairfield (Alabama) Works near Birmingham, and the Mon Valley Works, which includes the Edgar Thomson steelmaking and Irvin finishing operations on the Monongahela River near Pittsburgh. In addition, U. S. Steel operates a sheet and tin finishing plant at the Fairless Works near Philadelphia. U. S. Steel's coke production takes place at the Clairton Works - also on the Monongahela River - and at Gary Works. At Minntac, on the northern Minnesota's Mesabi Iron Range, iron ore mining and taconite pellet operations support the steelmaking effort.

Heavy investment in advanced technology has kept the company in the forefront among American integrated steelmakers. U. S. Steel now produces 100 percent of its steel via continuous casters and has reduced man-hours per ton of output to historically low levels that place the company in a leading position worldwide.

U. S. Steel's steep capital investment reflects a strong commitment to environmental enhancement.

State-of-the-art technology controls more than 95 percent of emissions from company production facilities. While U. S. Steel continues to improve its control technology, it increasingly is focusing on outright prevention of pollution at the source. At Clairton - the most environmentally advanced coke plant in the country - an internally developed program trains all employees on the efficient and effective operation of their facilities and their responsibility to the environment. The program has proven so successful that U. S. Steel has expanded it to other plants.

In addition to primary steel mill operations, U. S. Steel participates in several steel joint ventures. The major ones includes USS-POSCO Industries, Pittsburg, California; USS/Kobe Steel Company, Lorain, Ohio; PRO-TEC Coating Company, Leipsic, Ohio; Worthington Specialty Processing, Jackson, Michigan, and Double Eagle Steel Coating Company, Detroit, Michigan. U.S. Steel is also involved in a number of other businesses, among them coal mining, mineral resources management, real estate development, engineering and consulting services, technology licensing, and leasing and financial services.
