The Bethlehem Steel Corporation was an American steelmaking company headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Until its closure in 2003 it was one of the world's largest steel producing and shipbuilding companies. At the height of its success and productivity, the company was a symbol of American manufacturing leadership in the world, and its decline and ultimate liquidation in the late 20th century is similarly cited as an example of America's diminished manufacturing leadership. From its founding in 1857 through its 2003 dissolution, Bethlehem Steel's headquarters and primary steel mill manufacturing facilities were based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of the United States.

Rolling mill. Roll of red-hot sheet steel glowing in the rolling mill of a steel foundry. Rolling consists of taking red-hot steel from a furnace and passing it through a series of rollers. The metal is rolled to produce the required shape for sale. A variety of shapes, including sheets, rods and pipes, can be made in this way. This working of the steel also improves its quality by toughening the metal and refining its crystal structure.

Gartsherrie Iron Works was a large iron producing factory to the north of Coatbridge in the United Kingdom. It was purpose built by William Baird & Co. in 1828 and was in operation until 1967. The location was chosen due to the quantity (and quality) of blackband ironstone, coal, and limestone in the area. The works produced forge quality iron, which became world renown and was often specifically requested by engineers and designers for their projects. William Baird & Co. became a major industry concern, operating 42 blast furnaces, 16 of which were at the Gartsherrie site.
