Tata Steel Europe
The closure of Ravenscraig in 1992 signalled the end of large-scale steel making in Scotland. It led to a direct loss of 770 jobs, and another 10,000 jobs linked to these (although the nearby steel plants at Dalzell in Motherwell and Clydebridge in Cambuslang were in 2012 still in operation under the ownership of Tata Steel Europe, with both acquired by Liberty House Group in 2017).
