Background

The CSN Stahlwerk Thüringen Unterwellenborn steel plant started operations originally in 1878 with 2 blast furnaces and a Bessemer steel plant.[2] They have since evolved and switched to scrap-based electric steelmaking.[3] The plant was acquired by the CSN Group in February 2012 and have operated under the company since; though initially a state-owned group, CSN privatized in 1993.[4]

Worker Safety

In November 2022, workers began a strike over working hours and wages at the plant.[5] In March 2023, an employee died in an accident at the rolling mill.[6]
