Sidenor Shuts Azkoitia Rolling Train, Concentrates Steel Lamination in Reinosa

The company cites insufficient workload to justify maintaining two rolling trains.

Overview

  • Sidenor will stop rolling-train operations at its Azkoitia plant and unify lamination production at Reinosa/Campoo.
  • Thirty-six employees from Azkoitia are set to transfer to Reinosa following the production change.
  • Management informed the works council and union sections before making a public announcement of the decision.
  • The company frames the consolidation as securing the Reinosa site after years of underused capacity and high industrial costs across both facilities.
  • UGT, CCOO and USO voiced concern about Azkoitia's outlook and will review company documentation ahead of negotiations on worker mobility and implementation details.
