Marcegaglia Stainless is investing £50 million to build a new Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) to upgrade its existing site in Sheffield.
The new EAF will increase annual plant productivity to over 500,000 tonnes of stainless steel products, bringing efficiency and environmental improvements, and creating 50 new jobs.
The existing EAF has been in place since 1977, producing stainless steel by recycling scrap steel. The new operation will be in implementation phase during mid-2026. This will be undertaken by Primetals Technologies.
Marcegaglia Stainless Sheffield produces semi-finished stainless steel, including billets, blooms and slabs, as well as stainless downstream wire rod and bar products.
