UK long products specialist British Steel has produced its first-ever cinematic film on the company and its operations.

With the Hollywood-inspired title of ‘British Steel – The Movie’, the company uses images and music to give essentially non-steel audiences an insight into its operations. “We’ve never produced anything like this before and we’re thrilled with the results,” says British Steel deputy ceo Paul Martin.

With annual steel production of around 3 million tonnes, British Steel’s business is complex. The company says. It can transform raw materials into nearly 1,500 different grades of steel and specialises in rail, wire rod, constructional steel and special profiles.

The film was shot at British Steel’s Scunthorpe steelworks and at its Teesside operations including Teesside Beam Mill and the Special Profiles mill in Skinningrove. It highlights the production process including ironmaking, steelmaking, rolling and product testing.

The movie is available to view on YouTube, Kallanish notes.
