Tata Steel’s Long Products Europe business will continue to supply French rail operator SNCF for at least five more years after a new deal was signed. The company’s rail mill in Hayange, north-eastern France, has supplied the French network for more than 130 years. With Tata Steel, and previously Corus, being SNCF’s main rail supplier since 1999 the contract renewal will see that continue for the next five years with an extension option for a further four years.

Tata Steel will supply the bulk of SNCF’s 750,000 tonne requirements of high-quality rail over the duration of the renewed contract in lengths of up to 108 metres from its Hayange facility. This contract will provide a valuable foundation for the company’s future order book and keeps SNCF at the very heart of its focus for delivering customer satisfaction in terms of quality products and services. The Hayange rolling mill is supplied with steel from Tata Steel’s Long Products Europe steelworks in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, in the UK.

The contract resigning follows a €35 million investment by Tata Steel in 2011 which allowed the Hayange mill to produce 108m lengths of rail that SNCF will use throughout France’s standard and high-speed networks.

Tata Steel, the flagship company of the Tata group is the first integrated steel plant in Asia and is now the world’s second most geographically diversified steel producer and a Fortune 500 Company.
