The UK’s largest steel plate mill has been reopened, as part of Liberty House’s strategy to move to using 100% scrap metal as feedstock.The Dalzell steel works at Motherwell near Glasgow plant was bought by international industrial group Liberty House in April following its closure by Tata in December 2015 amid the steel industry crisis.
Liberty has spent the last five months rebuilding the workforce and recommissioning equipment at the site, which includes the UK’s largest steel plate mill.
Speaking ahead of the event Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon described its revival as ”a very positive signal that the steel and engineering industries still have a future here in Scotland”.
Liberty executive chairman Sanjeev Gupta said he aims to expand his company’s investment in Scotland in pursuit of its GREENSTEEL strategy for a competitive, low-carbon and sustainable steel industry.
