Tata Steel Netherlands (TSN) plans to cut 1,600 jobs at its IJmuiden plant to streamline operations and improve sustainable competitiveness. Parent company Tata Steel said geopolitical instability, supply chain disruptions, and soaring energy costs were key factors that weakened demand in European markets, increased operating expenses, and hurt financial performance.

 

To address this, TSN will simplify its management structure, increase automation, and standardize processes, eliminating approximately 1,600 management and support positions while also making changes to local leadership. TSN has submitted a restructuring plan to the central union and pledged transparent communication with stakeholders.

 

The company aims to promote green steel and become one of the most competitive steelmakers in Europe by investing in offshore wind power, power grids, and pipeline infrastructure. Tata Steel supports this vision and is in discussions with the Dutch government and other partners about jointly investing in green steel initiatives. TSN has already cut 800 jobs in 2023, and Tata Steel UK has also cut around 3,000 jobs as part of its electric arc furnace transformation.
