Step into the past and discover the transformative power in steel manufacturing. From Benjamin Nicholson and Sons at Shoreham Steel in 1889 to Ibbotson Brothers and Company Limited's Globe Works in 1928, these pioneering companies revolutionized the industry with their steel converting and refining processes. Witness the remarkable transition from coal to petrol with the Hydrogenation process, a groundbreaking innovation in generating fuel. And let's not forget the humble rolling mill, a staple in steel production at Ibbotson Brothers and Company Limited. Join us as we journey through time, from the early days of steel converting at Wheatman and Smith's Russell Works in 1858, to the thriving businesses of Geo. Fisher and Co., John Kenyon and Co., and Parkin Brothers and Hodgson in the late 19th century. Fast forward to the present day, and the converter's role remains just as vital. Solar panels, a modern marvel, rely on the conversion of sunlight into electricity. So, let us celebrate the transformative power of converters, past and present, and their indispensable role in shaping our world.
