Importance to U.S. Economy U.S. Auto Industry The auto industry is one of the most important industries in the U.S. economy: Over 7 million private sector jobs supported by auto manufacturers, suppliers and dealers in the United States Every vehicle manufacturer job creates almost 7 other jobs in industries across the economy A typical automobile made in North American contains steel from the 9 Integrated Steel Mills that produce automotive quality steel. Competition and efficiency have spurred just-in-time delivery (minimized inventories) at every stage in the supply chain. Interruptions to any part of the supply chain quickly ripple down to the final product Source: Center for Automotive Research, Jan 2015 26
Integrated Steel Mills 13 of 14 North American Mills are dependent on the Soo Locks for transport from Minnesota and Michigan. 9 of the 14 mills are on the shores of the Great Lakes Likelihood of a primary steel mill being shut down is proportional to its distance from the Great Lakes. Specifically required for production of auto, appliance, construction, farm, and mining equipment, rail car and locomotive industries. Typical Great Lakes mill layout receives taconite by ship; most mills do not have infrastructure to receive taconite by rail.
U.S. Iron Ore Mining 10 Mines located in Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan provide 100% of U.S. mined taconite pellets Up to 93% of the U.S. mined taconite traverses the Soo Locks for delivery to steel mills on the lower lakes The flowable characteristic of the pellets is essential to the material handling equipment in the steel mills.
