Welcome to Steel

Northumberland is a county in the northeast of England that has a rich history of steel production. The region has been a hub for steel manufacturing for centuries, with the industry playing a significant role in the local economy. The county's proximity to the North Sea and its abundance of coal and iron ore made it an ideal location for steel production. The steel industry in Northumberland has undergone significant changes over the years, but it remains an essential part of the region's economy.

One of the most significant steel producers in Northumberland is British Steel. The company has a long history in the region, with its roots dating back to the 19th century. British Steel has several facilities in Northumberland, including its plant in Lackenby, which produces high-quality steel products for a range of industries. The company's presence in the region has been vital to the local economy, providing jobs and supporting other businesses in the area.

Another important player in the Northumberland steel industry is Tata Steel. The company has a plant in the town of Hartlepool, which produces steel tubes for a range of applications, including oil and gas pipelines. Tata Steel's presence in the region has been significant, providing employment opportunities and supporting the local economy. The company has also invested in research and development, working to develop new and innovative steel products that meet the needs of its customers.
