American Katerra Brings Green Steel Revolution to San Antonio

American Katerra establishes San Antonio HQ for green steel fabrication, creating jobs and reducing emissions across the steel supply chain with plans for 2028 factory opening and global expansion.

This development represents a significant advancement in sustainable construction that directly addresses climate change concerns while creating economic opportunities. Steel production is one of the most carbon-intensive industrial processes globally, accounting for approximately 7-9% of global CO2 emissions according to industry estimates. American Katerra's approach to decarbonizing the entire steel supply chain—from manufacturing through construction—could substantially reduce the environmental footprint of buildings and infrastructure projects. For Texas, this means not only job creation in advanced manufacturing but also positioning the state as a leader in green industrial innovation. For the construction industry, this offers a practical pathway to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations and sustainability goals without compromising on structural integrity or project timelines. The company's expansion plans suggest this model could scale nationally and internationally, potentially transforming how steel is produced and used in construction worldwide.
