CELSA Group is a multinational group of steel companies headquartered in Spain, mainly in the industry of steel reinforcement or rebar.

History

It was formed in 1967 as the Compañía Española de Laminación. Competitors of the company include Salzgitter AG, of Salzgitter in Germany.

Structure

It is headquartered in Castellbisbal in Spain. It is composed of eight main steel companies, across Europe.

Celsa Steel UK

Celsa Steel UK is in Cardiff, and is the UK's largest manufacturer of steel reinforcement products. In November 2015, two people died at its Cardiff manufacturing site on East Moors Road.[1]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK government provided Celsa Steel UK with a £30 million bailout to help it continue trading providing it met a set of conditions.[2] This made it the first company to receive a loan through the government's financial support scheme known as Project Birch.[3]
