Who we are

Future-oriented steel manufacturer

For more than a century, Tata Steel Nederland has been a central part of the industrial fabric of the IJmond region and a reliable steel producer in the Netherlands and Europe. Steel remains a strategic material that is essential for economic development, infrastructure and Europe’s energy transition. This makes us not just a steel producer, but a vital link in the European supply chain. Building on this role, TSN is working towards a future in which high‑quality steel production is combined with substantially lower environmental impact and responsible operations.

Producing steel at industrial scale in close proximity to our surroundings comes with responsibilities that go beyond economic contribution alone. As an integrated steel producer, TSN operates within clearly defined legal, regulatory and societal boundaries. This requires that we act responsibly, transparently and demonstrably in control of our operations.

Looking forward, TSN aims to continue producing steel in a way that is reliable, competitive and increasingly clean and sustainable. We are preparing significant steps to fundamentally transform how we operate. This includes investing in cleaner steelmaking routes and reducing emissions, while taking ownership of the impact of our activities, operating in line with applicable laws, regulations and permits, and continuously improving performance where standards are not yet met. Responsible steel production is therefore not an abstract ambition, but a necessary condition for maintaining trust and long-term legitimacy.

At the same time, we recognise the importance of TSN as a value engine in the economic ecosystem of the IJmond region. Thousands of people live and work in and around our company, directly and indirectly. Together with our employees, customers and other stakeholders, we are committed to shaping a future in which steel production continues to play a meaningful role for our region and for society as a whole. Innovation and close collaboration with customers are key to developing high-quality, future-oriented steel solutions that support the transition to a more sustainable economy.

These principles form the basis for our purpose, mission and vision, and guide the choices we make as we work towards a more sustainable, resilient and future‑proof Tata Steel Nederland.

At TSN, we take pride in delivering high-quality steel for critical applications in various industries across the Netherlands, Europe and beyond. We are committed to producing sustainable steel that helps people in their daily lives, at work, at home and on the move with the ultimate goal of becoming a cleaner, green and circular steel company.  

“TSN operates an integrated steelmaking business model focused on the production of high-quality flat steel products.”

Business model

TSN operates an integrated steelmaking business model focused on the production of high-quality flat steel products, including hot-rolled steel, cold-rolled steel and a range of specialty grades essential to industrial and consumer applications in engineering, automotive, packaging and construction.

While steel is produced in IJmuiden, it is further processed at our various sites in Europe for high-quality applications. We serve customers in industry, consumer goods, the public sector and infrastructure. We also produce coated steel for the agricultural sector, manufacture precision tubes and structural hollow sections, and process steel for use in batteries and cars or for innovative products in roof and wall cladding. With services including decoiling, blanking and slitting, we serve various customer groups.

TSN commits to embedding circular economy principles into every stage of its operations. Our by-products (blast furnace slag and steel slag) are also marketed. When properly treated and contained, the reuse and recycling of blast furnace slag and steel slag contribute to decarbonisation and circularity in other sectors by replacing CO₂-intensive raw materials.

Our value chain

Tata Steel Nederland operates an integrated steel value chain, converting raw materials such as iron ore and coal into high-quality steel. The chain covers production, specialised processing and distribution to end users.
