My father was a plant superintendent of the third largest steel in the street in the United States. And the company was called Jones and Laughlin. It's a shame what happened to that company. They did many processes at his plant at one time. They made specialtie steel. Stainless. The company was established in 1853. Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

I lived in Bassaleg and could see Alcan from my house. Used to hear all the crashing and banging going on through the night, very comforting sound that I used to fall asleep to. Brings back memories,

I went to the Newport plant on a school visit in 1984 and went to college in 1985 to start a toolmaking apprenticeship. I can still remember the apprentice training area with the Colchester lathes

Alcan, is pretty much the same set up around the world. I use to work at Alcan Oswego works in up state New York USA. Our hot line was set up almost the same way. 120" roughing mill,then a shear,then the 100" mill. That was one of the best jobs I ever had,loved going to work. The stiff-leg ingot crane. Was it a Morgan crane ?

Entendo perfeitamente. Isso já aconteceu comigo na Aciaria COSIPA, Brasil. Muito triste o final de uma operação metalúrgica.

ok.....well that sucks! instead of tearing it down i wonder why they just didn't mothball it if it was cost cutting. the economy will turn around. i guess it just pisses me off

ok.......why? company reorganized and opened a new plant in different area? went bankrupt? cheap imports undercut the bottom line? just curious cause i hate seeing us continually lose our industrial capacity to china that doesn't have all the costly regulations and pay little to nothing in wages. where is this also? europe?
