Scunthorpe Telegraph reported that British Steel is celebrating the 10th anniversary of rail production at its Scunthorpe plant with the news it has secured another contract in Europe.
On December 7 2006, the company replaced the old rail facility in Workington with a new one in Scunthorpe. It has since rolled more than 1.5 million tonnes of rail enough to lay track between London and Delhi.
And the landmark has been made even more significant by the announcement the Finnish Transport Agency (FTA) has chosen to use rails made by British Steel for the sixth consecutive year.
Mr Peter Smith British Steel''s managing director rail said that "This is an important contract for us in a very competitive market place. The full contract will be split 50/50 between British Steel and another supplier, with our half of the contract seeing 5,500 tonnes of steel being delivered by April 2017. This will be produced at our Scunthorpe Rail and Section Mill, which is now 10 years old. The first deliveries will be made to the FTA over the coming weeks and the fact they have chosen us again is testament to the high standards we set. This is a major exporting contract for one of our target markets and it comes as a boost against strong European competition.¡±
He added that ¡°There are only four other approved bidders competing to supply the FTA, reflecting their strict requirements for service and quality."
As reported, the Scunthorpe Telegraph''s campaign to bring the HS2 steel contract to the town gathered hundreds of signatures in just its first week. The steel will be used for the agency''s annual maintenance work, which will see the British Steel rails used across multiple sites.
