At the coke plant of Les Forges de la Providence in Marchienne-au-Pont, Belgium. With adjacent facilities of Thy-Marcinelle, Industeel and Fabrique de Fer it forms the integrated steel mill of Charleroi, on the main industrial centers of Belgium.
Today this part is owned by Duferco from Italy and called Carsid, a name made up of "carolorégienne" (from "Charleroi") and "(usine) sidérurgique". Other names you are likely to encounter when investigating the past of this mill also include Usines Metallurgiques de Hainaut, Hainaut-Sambre, Cockerill-Ougree-Providence, Thy-Marcinelle et Providence, Industeel, Usinor and Arcelor, which sold its stake to Duferco - that already operates other mills in Belgium - in late 2004. Do not feel confused about all those names. Things look quite simple in this nice, but incomplete diagram. But don't worry. They are not. Continuous grouping, re-grouping, merging and de-merging during decades left complications only a few will really see through. Which does not really matter as it is a great place to take photos of - no matter how it is called currently.
Comments are closed at the moment. I will post a blog entry as soon as they are available again.
