Tangshan Delong Iron and Steel Co Ltd (唐山市恒安实业有限公司, 唐山市德龙钢铁有限公司, 唐山市乐丰钢铁有限公司), also known as Tangshan Hengan Industrial Co., Ltd., Tangshan Lefeng Steel Co., Ltd., is a steel plant in Tangshan, Hebei, China that operates basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and blast furnace (BF) technology.
The existing equipment capacity has been transferred and will be phased out in 2023.[1]
On May 30, 2023, the company ceased to accept scrap steel. On the afternoon of May 31, the blast furnace and converters were successively shut down, marking the end of operations for the steel mill that had been operating in Tangshan for 23 years. Equipment dismantling is set to be completed by September 30, 2023. This move has led to the closure of the major steel factory, resulting in unemployment for 3,000 employees.[2]
