On 13 July 2022, our Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) facility at the Port Kembla Steelworks celebrates its 50th anniversary! This crucial piece of our infrastructure in Australia converts liquid iron into steel. To mark this significant milestone, we spoke to people at the BOS about their experiences at the site and how things have changed.
