Warrior Met Coal, Inc. operates as a U.S.-based producer and exporter of premium metallurgical coal, primarily serving the global steel industry. Headquartered in Brookwood, Alabama, the company extracts and processes high-quality hard coking coal and premium pulverized coal injection coal from underground mines in the Blue Creek coal seam. Warrior Met Coal's operations include multiple underground mining complexes in Alabama, supported by preparation and load-out facilities capable of processing approximately 8 million short tons annually. The company exports the majority of its production to steelmakers in Europe, South America, and Asia, positioning itself as a significant supplier in the seaborne metallurgical coal market. With approximately 2,200 employees, Warrior Met Coal emerged from Walter Energy's bankruptcy reorganization in 2016 and completed its initial public offering in 2017. The company focuses on low-cost production enabled by modern longwall mining technology and access to excellent transportation infrastructure, including rail and terminal facilities at the Port of Mobile. Recent operational priorities include maintaining production efficiency, managing capital expenditures, and navigating fluctuating global steel demand and metallurgical coal pricing. The company's coal products are known for their low sulfur content and strong coking properties, characteristics valued by steel producers seeking to optimize blast furnace performance and reduce emissions.
