Founded on February 25, 1901, U. S. Steel has played an essential role in America’s history. U. S. Steel made the steel that defended a nation, and the steel that built it. It shaped the nation’s infrastructure, industries, and skylines—from bridges and railroads to energy systems and cars. American made steel from U. S. Steel has helped power everyday life. During World War II, U. S. Steel’s operations and workforce helped supply the steel critical to victory, underscoring the company’s enduring role in supporting national security. One hundred twenty-five years later, that responsibility remains.

The company is using the strength of what it has built to shape what comes next, with a clear focus on modern steelmaking, innovation, and long-term growth. The anniversary theme, “Forging Our Future | 125 Years Strong,” honors U. S. Steel’s heritage while actively investing in people, technology, and the deployment of $11 billion in investments across its U.S. footprint by the end of 2028.

“U. S. Steel was built by generations of people who believed deeply in the importance of what they were creating,” said David B. Burritt, President and Chief Executive Officer of U. S. Steel. “Our journey has not always been easy. We’ve weathered many ups and downs to get where we are, and our 125th anniversary is honoring that legacy while looking ahead with confidence. We are investing to modernize, compete, and ensure U. S. Steel remains strong, relevant, and essential—for our employees, our customers, our communities, and our country.”

Today’s U. S. Steel is defined by advanced capabilities and a highly skilled workforce. Technology enabled, data driven operations are helping the company work smarter and safer, while improving efficiency. Together, U. S. Steel’s people and capabilities position the company to support resilient supply chains, critical industries, and America’s long term economic and security needs.

“An American original since 1901, U. S. Steel remains a company with momentum, purpose, and a clear direction forward,” Burritt added. “Our legacy is strong, but our future is even stronger. U. S. Steel is back.”

U. S. Steel will mark this historic milestone in numerous ways throughout 2026, beginning with the launch of a special website landing page to provide updates on our planned anniversary celebration activities: 125th Anniversary - www.ussteel.com

The company will also launch “What Makes Us,” a year-long video series highlighting what makes U. S. Steel who we are, celebrating our character, culture and essential role through the voices and stories of our employees.
