瓜達拉哈拉，墨西哥，2023年8月10日美通社/--Grupo Simec是一家生產特殊棒材質量(SBQ)鋼、鋼絲、螺紋鋼以及商業和結構鋼長產品的國際領先生產商，該公司今天宣佈，其共和鋼廠將無限期閒置煉鋼作業。俄亥俄州坎頓市，以及紐約州拉卡萬納

During idling, Republic's U.S. customers to be served via Grupo Simec's state-of-the-art steel mill in Tlaxcala, Mexico.
在空閒期間，Republic的美國客戶將通過Grupo Simec位於墨西哥特拉斯卡拉的最先進的鋼廠獲得服務。
According to Jaime Vigil, Republic Steel board member and executive advisor, Grupo Simec exhausted every additional potential option besides idling these two operations.
根據Jaime Vigil，共和鋼鐵董事會成員兼執行顧問，Grupo Simec除了閒置這兩項業務外，我用盡了所有額外的潛在選擇。
"We're facing an extremely challenging SBQ market in the U.S., with competitive market pricing and decreased demand," said Vigil. "At the same time, we've had to deal with increasing input costs on all raw materials, consumables, and labor, all as a result of the inflationary environment in the U.S. over the past year."
“我們在美國面臨著一個極具挑戰性的SBQ市場，市場定價競爭激烈，需求下降，”Vigil說。與此同時，我們不得不應對所有原材料、消耗品和勞動力的投入成本不斷上升的問題，這一切都是過去一年美國通脹環境的結果。
Vigil said there was hope that inflationary pressures would ease, and that Republic Steel would experience a bump in business following the passages of the Infrastructure Bill in 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. Unfortunately, neither came to fruition in a timely manner.
維吉爾表示，通脹壓力有望緩解，共和鋼鐵公司的業務將在2021年基礎設施法案和2022年通脹削減法案通過後出現增長。不幸的是，這兩個問題都沒有及時取得成果。
Grupo Simec and Republic Steel are the only producers of leaded steel in North America and have been committed to doing so in an environmentally responsible manner. In the United States, for instance, the company took many steps over the past several years to remain compliant with all environmental regulations, particularly the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for leaded steel production. During that time, the company invested approximately $10 million in its Canton facility to maintain compliance with existing regulations and to respond to the ever-changing obligations imposed upon it by local, state, and federal environmental regulators.
Grupo Simec和Republic Steel是中國唯一的含鉛鋼材生產商北美並一直致力於以對環境負責的方式這樣做。在……裡面美國例如，該公司在過去幾年裡採取了許多措施，以保持符合所有環境法規，特別是國家含鉛鋼材生產環境空氣質量標準。在此期間，該公司投資了大約1000萬美元在ITS中坎頓保持對現有法規的遵守，並對地方、州和聯盟環境監管機構強加給它的不斷變化的義務做出回應。
Although Republic Steel has, for the past two years, remained in strict compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for the production of leaded steel, ensuring future environmental compliance while producing steel in facilities that are up to 125 years old proved to be too challenging. As a result, Grupo Simec felt it would be most environmentally responsible to do so at its new, state-of-the-art mill in Tlaxcala.
儘管共和鋼鐵公司在過去兩年中一直嚴格遵守國家環境空氣質量標準，以生產含鉛鋼材，但事實證明，在擁有125年曆史的工廠生產鋼材的同時，確保未來的環境合規性太具有挑戰性。結果,Grupo Simec我認為這將是對環境最負責任的，在其新的，最先進的工廠特拉斯卡拉。
"One of our core values at both Grupo Simec and Republic Steel is to always be environmentally responsible," said Vigil. "As the only producers of leaded steel in North America, we also owe it to our customers, and their customers, to be a reliable supplier of such products."
“我們的核心價值觀之一就是Grupo Simec共和鋼鐵公司將始終對環境負責。“維吉爾說，”作為中國唯一的含鉛鋼鐵生產商。北美，我們也有責任成為這類產品的可靠供應商，這也是對我們的客戶和他們的客戶的責任。
"This isn't an easy decision," said Vigil. "But we feel it's the only way for us to continue to serve our U.S. customer base with an ongoing and reliable supply of product, including leaded steel, and to do so at a competitive price point. Ultimately, we're responsible to our shareholders and our customers. We're simply doing what needs to be done to meet our responsibilities."
“這不是一個容易的決定，”維吉爾說。但我們認為，這是我們繼續為我們的美國客戶群提供持續可靠的產品，包括含鉛鋼材，並以具有競爭力的價格做到這一點的唯一途徑。歸根結底，我們對我們的股東和客戶負責。我們只是在做需要做的事情來履行我們的責任。
Vigil recognized Republic Steel employees for their tremendous efforts.
維吉爾表彰了共和鋼鐵公司員工的巨大努力。
"Republic Steel employees are hard-working and dedicated," Vigil said. "Their roots date back to the late 1800s. They're an important reason this company has been a leader in this industry for so long. And we thank them for their important contributions."
“共和鋼鐵公司的員工工作勤奮、敬業，”維吉爾說。他們的根可以追溯到19世紀末。他們是這家公司長期以來在這個行業保持領先地位的重要原因。我們感謝他們做出的重要貢獻。
