Teesside Cast Products

Teesside Cast Products (TCP) is an exciting business; it has moved from an internal supplier to an international seller and exporter of steel.

The products made at Teesside are exported around the world. The business produces technically sophisticated steel in the shape of slabs. TCP produces steel slabs that can be rolled to make plate or sections, this steel is commonly used in construction, bridge and ship building. The business also specialises in slab for the strip market where it is rolled to a thin gauge and eventually used to make items such as car bodies or panels for domestic appliances.

The Teesside site measures around 3,000 acres. It is home to three key areas: Redcar where the ironmaking process takes place, Lackenby known for its steel and section making and South Bank where coke is made.

Ironmaking started in Teesside during the 16th century at Rievaulx Abbey, and in 1837, Middlesbrough Ironworks opened.

Steel made from Teesside can be seen in structures all around the world, from Canary Wharf in London to the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia.
