Liberty's Dalzell plate mill restarts operations

Liberty Steel's Dalzell plate mill in Motherwell, Scotland, has resumed operations for a government order, Kallanish learns.

A Liberty spokesperson says Dalzell “is fulfilling an order for the British government as an anchor for its resumption of operations, sourcing slab from British Steel."

The spokesperson adds: “We aim to ramp up production in the coming months through a pipeline of select projects."

Workers at the mill are believed to have been on furlough for some time, with operations halted since mid-2024.

Earlier in 2025, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that he was “horrified” by Dalzell being idle.
