Operations

Site Location

The Tonawanda Coke Corporation plant is situated on approximately 188 acres along the Niagara River about a mile north of Buffalo, New York.

As is customary in the industry, Tonawanda Coke operates 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.

Raw Materials Handling

Metallurgical grade coal is the primary raw material used, and it is delivered in railroad hopper cars. The plant itself is equipped with an internal rail system comprised of nearly 5 miles of track. The size and layout of the property, in conjunction with the rail system design, enables the plant to stock up to 60,000 tons of coal (up to a 3-month supply). Rail service to and from the plant is provided by CSX Transportation.
