LIBERTY Steel Group

What LIBERTY Steel Group does

LIBERTY Steel Group is an international steel manufacturer operating as the core industrial pillar of the privately held GFG Alliance, owned by Sanjeev Gupta and family. The group runs Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) melt shops and downstream rolling, coating and finishing assets across more than 200 locations in the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, the United States, Australia, India and the wider Asia-Pacific region, with stated rolling capacity of over 20mtpa and liquid steel capacity of over 11mtpa; the corporate headquarters sits in Dubai and the registered office in London.

The product portfolio spans hot-rolled and cold-rolled coils, plate, wire rod, structural hollow sections, merchant bar, fabricated wire products, and ferro manganese and silicomanganese, manufactured at facilities including Hartlepool, Dalzell, Scunthorpe, Tredegar, Rotherham, Stocksbridge, Galați, Ostrava, Piombino, Skopje, Dudelange, Flémalle, Whyalla and Bell Bay. Underpinning the operations is the GREENSTEEL strategy, which combines EAF technology (60-80% lower direct CO2 emissions than blast furnace routes), scrap metal recycling, renewable hydroelectric power at Bell Bay, and a stated target of carbon-neutral production by 2030 (CN30), supported by the GREENSTEEL Academy workforce programme.

The revenue model is B2B, hardware-sales led: products are sold via direct enterprise sales teams through long-term contracts and project-based supply to construction, infrastructure, oil and gas, marine and shipbuilding, automotive, aerospace, power generation and mining customers. Named customers include BP, Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies and Subsea7 for energy and offshore projects, the UK warship construction program for plate supply, and the offshore wind industry for tower plate. Pricing is quote-based and specification-driven with no public tier structure. Since 2021 the group has been navigating a financial restructuring triggered by the Greensill Capital collapse, with multiple European subsidiaries entering administration and the Speciality Steel UK business placed into compulsory liquidation in August 2025.
