Hyundai-POSCO steel plant development in Louisiana

Overview

Hyundai Steel and POSCO are partnering to construct a $5.8 billion steel manufacturing plant, known as Hyundai-POSCO Louisiana Steel (HPLS), in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Located near Donaldsonville along the Mississippi River, the facility is intended to serve as a strategic hub for Hyundai Steel’s global expansion and a base for transitioning to low-carbon production systems.

The plant is expected to be completed in 2029 with an annual production capacity of 2.7 million tons, primarily manufacturing steel products for the automotive industry. The project is projected to create more than 1,300 direct jobs with an average annual salary of approximately $95,000, alongside roughly 4,100 additional jobs through contractors and suppliers.

To engage with the local community ahead of the construction phase, HPLS hosted a ‘Community Day’ event at Louisiana Square. The event, attended by approximately 700 people including Donaldsonville Mayor Leroy Sullivan, featured musical performances, interactive games, and a mix of local Louisiana and Korean cuisine to foster understanding of the upcoming electric arc furnace steel mill.
