Compressed Air Systems in Ebbw Vale

Ebbw Vale’s roots lay in the coal and steel industry. Indeed, steel from Ebbw Vale can be found around the world; even crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge means benefitting from a little bit of South Wales steel.

With the decline of the coal and steel industry, a number of other businesses and sectors have come to the area to take their place. The Rassau Industrial Estate is one of South Wales’ best-known business destinations.

Ebbw Vale: From Steel Roots to Modern Industrial Estates with Control Gear

Ebbw Vale’s industrial narrative is both rich and storied, with its origins dating back to 1790 when the town witnessed the establishment of its first blast furnace. This early venture marked the beginning of a long-standing industrial legacy, with the plant notably supplying rails for the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1829. The town’s industrial prowess continued to grow, and by 1866, one of the first steel plants was inaugurated. The early 1920s saw the Ebbw Vale Company at its zenith, employing a staggering 34,000 workers.

However, like many industrial towns, Ebbw Vale faced challenges. The 1930s brought about a sharp downturn in the steel and coal sectors. Yet, in the face of adversity, Ebbw Vale showcased its resilience, emerging as Britain’s premier tinplate producer. This illustrious chapter came to a close in 2002, marking the end of over two centuries of industrial innovation in Ebbw Vale.
