National Steel Corporation

National Steel Corporation was a major American steel manufacturer founded in 1901 that produced steel used in construction, transportation, and manufacturing. Known for its integrated production process, it played a significant role in the U.S. industrial economy. Over the decades, it expanded through acquisitions, becoming one of the largest steel producers in North America. The company faced economic fluctuations and industry challenges, ultimately filing for bankruptcy in 2001. Its assets were acquired by other firms, notably U.S. Steel, marking a significant shift in the U.S. steel industry.
