The project is part of a £1 million investment by steel framing specialist Caledan and supported by £134,000 from the Welsh Government.
The facility is to create 28 new jobs and will process/supply ready made sections for steel framed systems used in the construction industry.
Welsh Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary Ken Skates said: "The Welsh Government is committed to supporting the steel industry in Wales and I am pleased this project aims to do just that.

"The investment not only secures a new venture but will create new jobs and enhance opportunities within the local supply chain. It also supports the construction sector priorities for innovation in off-site manufacturing and non traditional building methods."
Chris Morton, Managing Director of Caledan, added: "The new steel rolling mill means that we will be able to provide a ‘made in Wales' building solution from design, manufacture and fabrication through to delivery and installation through our approved network of installers.
"We can now take advantage of a gap in the market to purchase and produce the cold steel strip locally for our own uses and to supply the wider construction industry.
"It will result in increased efficiencies and savings for our business and, as we will also be supplying the local market, it will create additional savings on logistics and cut the carbon footprint."
