Mississippi County, Arkansas is getting another steel mill. Officials announced on Wednesday that Merrill Steel will construct its fourth manufacturing plant in Osceola. The project will invest more than $32 million and create over 100 new jobs over three years.
The new mill will be at the former Denso Manufacturing Arkansas site. Hiring is expected to start in Spring 2026.
Merrill Steel was founded in 1962 and chose Osceola due to state and local partnerships and access to raw steel.
Arkansas Governor Sara Huckabee Sanders stated, “Mississippi County is the top steel producing county in America” as Merrill joins other steel mills in the area like Big River Steel, U.S. Steel, Nucor Steel and Nucor-Yamato.
