It's an exciting day for manufacturing in Australia, as Orrcon Steel | Manufacturing presented the new Unanderra Pipe and Tube Mill to be officially opened by the Hon. Paul Scully, MP (NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces and Member for Wollongong) and Gordon Bradbery AM (Wollongong Lord Mayor, Councillor). See photos of the event below, which give a glimpse of the facility that will provide crucial materials for renewable energy infrastructure. You'll also see the following presenters and special guests (in alphabetical order), along with attending employees and news media: Jane M. AM (Chair, BlueScope); Lester Kirkwood (National Marketing and Innovation Manager and event MC, Orrcon Steel); Mark Vassella (Managing Director and CEO, BlueScope); Tania Archibald (Chief Executive, Australian Steel Products); and Tony Schreiber (General Manager, Orrcon Steel). The launch of the mill in Unanderra marks a pinnacle achievement at Orrcon Steel, which joined the BlueScope group of companies 10 years ago; this shows the benefits of continuing investment and building sovereign capability to deliver increased local content for Australian infrastructure, commercial building, transport and energy sectors. Including advanced robotics and automation, the state-of-the-art mill can produce up to 90 metres of tubular product per minute, featuring large circular, square, and rectangular hollow sections up to 10 inches in diameter. This extends Orrcon Steel’s existing range from its mills in Salisbury, QLD and O’Sullivan Beach, SA and replaces larger sections currently imported into Australia. We congratulate the teams at Orrcon Steel and BlueScope who have made this a reality, with a special mention of Brendan McNally (Unanderra Manufacturing Manager), who has worked tirelessly to oversee and ensure the project's completion. --- Watch a video of the launch here on LinkedIn (https://lnkd.in/gi__9MdB) or at TVBlueScope on YouTube (https://lnkd.in/gw_jUVHE).
