Multi-million pound distribution centre open for business

Posted on by in News

Tata Steel Teeside Distribution CentreTata Steel has invested £3.1M in a new steel distribution centre which has opened on Teesside.

The opening of the centre has led to the creation of 30 new jobs, which have been filled by Tata Steel employees redeployed from the company’s Teesside Beam Mill and Steelpark distribution centre in Wednesfield, West Midlands.

The centre will be responsible for managing and distributing around 100,000t of the company’s construction steel stock from the Teesside Beam Mill, the sections mill in Scunthorpe and the tubes mills in Corby.

Director of the new facility, Rob Ridge, said: “The steel was previously transported to our Steelpark distribution centre in Wednesfield, and other service centres, before being transferred to the customer. The Wednesfield site will still process a large number of the steel sections, but it is anticipated the vast majority will now be delivered to the customer straight from the Teesside service centre.

“This is a much more efficient way of handling our steel sections that will bring cost saving benefits to Tata Steel, while also speeding up delivery for our customers.”
