By The Associated Press

FOLLANSBEE, W.Va. —

 

Wheeling-Nisshin expects to begin production of a new product at its plant in Brooke County by the end of the year.

 

The company is spending $28 million to add a new corrosion-resistant, hot dip coated steel sheet line in Follansbee.

 

 Commercial production is expected to begin in late November.

 

Wheeling-Nisshin's parent, Nisshin Steel Co. Ltd., developed the new coating, called ZAM. It's a combination of zinc, aluminum and manganese.
