It is great to hear today about Steelmaking returning to the Teesside region, in Redcar.
They used a gas lance which was itself ignited by embers from an operational blast furnace, in keeping with steelmaking tradition. Workers cheered at the sight of flames inside the furnace. The first steel slabs are likely to be produced over the next three days.
We have been a key instrumentation partner to many companies in the Teesside region and with this re-opening, we know that it will bring money back into local economy & resume the long tradition of steelmaking on Teesside.
