I discovered this town has more than one Timken Steel Plant. Timken's main product is bearings. But they could not find steel that was good enough for their bearings, so they built their own steel works. I see they have spun off the steel making part in 2014.

No injuries after molten steel spilled from a ladle at the Harrison plant Thursday night.
CANTON Molten steel spilled from a ladle and ripped through three floors of a TimkenSteel’s Harrison plant late Thursday night, but much of the sprawling operation was up and running Friday morning.
The fire knocked out a caster used to melt scrap metal and make steel. While steel production at the plant is temporarily affected, bar finishing lines and other downstream operations were not touched and production there is continuing.
“The building and systems wiring in the casting operations were damaged, but the equipment was not,” according to a company statement. “Our current assessment is that production won’t be significantly impacted.”
The Harrison plant, which sits between Harrison and Dueber avenues SW, is the original mill where Timken Co. began making steel 100 years ago. About 40 percent of steel made by TimkenSteel — created in 2014 when it was split from Timken Co. — is poured in the Harrison mill and the rest is poured at the Faircrest plant.
UPDATE: TimkenSteel plant back running after spill

| Darren Miller posted Lori Taylor: TimkenSteel is finally becoming a profitable company. The split from bearing was rough. Finally cut a lot of salary & union fat the last 2 years. |

| Dan Trompower posted This was always one of my favorite pics from Timken Harrison rolling mill. Canton OH. Clyde Tippy: Walking beam hotbed David Henderson: The long bed wide bed allowed the bars to cool enough and remain commercially straight minimized the bars that had to be sent to a straighter was a big plus over the 10” mill and 22” mill. This helped us get the Japanese business that we got as it made us more competitive because we didn’t have to straighten as many bars. |

| Mark Leasure commented on Brian's question Definitely HSP. This is the same POV but on a down day. |

9:59 YouTube video on steel making This is a good professional-narration-over-factory-scenes video instead of a talking-heads video that blathers about mission, safety, etc.
