Steel firm Liberty confirms £60m investment into Rotherham

Liberty, part of GFG Alliance, has committed to a programme of new investments at its South Yorkshire GREENSTEEL hub to supply the transport, defence, and construction sectors as part of the Government’s Build Back Better plan.

The investments will remove production bottlenecks at its electric arc furnace (N-Furnace) and small bloom caster in Rotherham, helping the business to double existing steel output to one million tonnes per annum.

Sanjeev Gupta, executive chairman, GFG Alliance, said: “LIBERTY’s programme of further investment in South Yorkshire is proof the UK steel industry can deliver the low carbon infra-structure Britain needs.”
