44. Celebrating 60 Years of the Plate Mill

Voices of BlueScope

In 2023, we're celebrating 60 years of the Plate Mill at the Port Kembla Steelworks in Australia! The Plate Mill receives slabs of steel from earlier stages of the manufacturing process, then rolls them to different degrees of thickness. To learn more about this facility and its people, we're featuring interviews with six employees who work there. They share their personal experiences, career backgrounds and how they feel to be part of this significant anniversary.
