ArcelorMittal Dofasco No. 1 Coke Plant - an incredible 64-year run

On March 30, 2015 at 5:00 a.m. the team at No.1 Coke completed the plant’s last push bringing an incredible 64-year run of the plant and that of No.1 By-products, to an end. The No.1 Coke Plant was commissioned in 1951 and its construction coincided with that of our first blast furnace. No.1 was the oldest Coke Plant in the ArcelorMittal group.
Keeping it operating efficiently was the result of the efforts and skill of our cokemaking operations, maintenance and technology teams. Just prior to No.1’s closure, approximately 85 operations, maintenance and technology employees worked at the plant.
All permanent employees have been reassigned to other roles at ArcelorMittal Dofasco.
