The World Economic Forum announced that Tata Steel’s plant at IJmuiden in the Netherlands has been inducted into its prestigious community, a distinction awarded to manufacturing facilities which are leaders in technologies of the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’. Assessing more than 1,000 factories in 2018, WEF recognised Tata Steel’s IJmuiden plant and six others as ‘Manufacturing Lighthouses’ state-of-the-art production facilities which successfully adopt and integrate the cutting-edge technologies of the future and drive financial and operational impact. This makes Tata Steel part of a network of just 16 key factories to create world’s leading learning platforms for production. To learn the technologies by other companies, ‘Lighthouse’ companies are committed to open their doors and share their knowledge with other manufacturing businesses.
