Nova Steel considers expansion in Delta despite tariff challenges

DELTA, Ohio (WTVG) - A local steel plant is expanding, but in an industry that’s been on a tariff roller coaster since 2025. Nova Steel in Delta already supports 183 jobs in Fulton County, with more potentially on the way. Nova Steel has operations on both sides of the border. Its CEO says the company has found ways to adapt, but there’s one part of its business that’s nearly disappeared. “So the cross-border transactions, which is a big, big part of my career, has disappeared for now,” said Scott Jones, CEO of Nova Steel. Nova Steel has operations in both the U.S. and Canada.
