Region profile 02
What North Louisiana makes
Shreveport-Bossier anchors the north with a specialty refinery, a seamless tube mill, coated steel lines and a port industrial park at the head of navigation on the Red River. Monroe and West Monroe hold a paper mill and the world's largest folding carton plant. Smaller mill and manufacturing towns fill the space between.
Cable from this region leans on drive and machine cable, tray and control cable, welding lead and building wire, with medium voltage concentrated in mill and refinery substations rather than across the whole market.
Steel and tube
BENTELER's seamless tube mill and Ternium's coated steel lines at the Port of Caddo-Bossier.
Paperboard and packaging
Graphic Packaging's largest paper mill in West Monroe and its largest folding carton plant in Monroe.
Refining and lubricants
Calumet's Shreveport specialty refinery and lubricant blending operations.
Modular electrical equipment
Fibrebond's enclosure and modular substation campus in Minden, now part of Eaton.
Freight and access 03
Getting a lot out of North Louisiana
I-20 runs east-west through Shreveport-Bossier and Monroe, with I-49 south from Shreveport and I-220 as the local loop. The Port of Caddo-Bossier has 26 miles of on-site rail, and the Red River gives barge access at the head of navigation.
Loading and freight. Freight responsibility, loading method and pickup date are agreed in writing for the specific lot. Heavy reels are loaded by rated equipment, never by the conductor or the jacket.
