LIBERTY Pipes Hartlepool continues to deliver a major contract supplying pipelines for a flagship carbon capture project — a significant step forward in the UK’s transition to net zero emissions, and a boost to economic stability in the Teesside region.
Jeffrey Kabel, Chief Transformation Officer, was interviewed by ITV News at LIBERTY’s Hartlepool plant to discuss the potential impact of US tariffs on UK steel exports. Hartlepool produces niche, high-value products, offering some protection in terms of its domestic order book, but products manufactured at LIBERTY’s British sites would now face a 25% tariff when exported to American facilities.
LIBERTY also took the chance to show key steel industry advocate Chris McDonald, MP for Stockton North, the progress it is making on the carbon capture contract.
