Local Media that Kentucky Lt Gov Jacqueline Coleman, US Rep Hal Rogers, Middlesboro Mayor Rick Nelson and Bell County (Kentucky) Judge-Executive Albey Brock, joined executives from Flash Steelworks recently to break ground on the new steel manufacturing facility in Middlesboro. Over the next 15 years, Flash Steelworks will invest USD 12.1 million. The facility will be located at the old tannery site. Ms Coleman announced USD 1 million in Appalachian Regional Commission funding will aid in the construction of the steel-manufacturing facility. The ARC funding will be matched by USD 5 million in state funds, allocated from the 2022 state budget. Flash Steelworks is a private steel manufacturer that uses a unique and highly specialized electronic thermal process to produce blast-resistant, yet lightweight, military-grade plate steel. The company has a contract with the federal Department of Defense to produce armor for the US military. Rigorously tested by the US Army, Flash is proven the world’s highest performing weldable armor plate for vehicles and structure. Flash’s entirely new field of metals research, patented in nine countries, leads to mass reduction, performance improvement, and simultaneous cost savings. Stronger than titanium, lighter than aluminum, and able to stop speeding bullets, low-cost flash technology produces the world’s highest overall performing metal for energy efficiency improvement in agriculture, architecture, armor, automobiles, bicycles, bridges, containers, cables, dump trucks
