The ArcelorMittal Dunkirk steelworks, located in Grande-Synthe, is one of the largest industrial complexes in Western Europe, with a production capacity in excess of 7 million tonnes of steel per year. The 450-hectare site includes facilities such as blast furnaces, a steelworks, a coking plant and a continuous hot rolling mill.
In such a demanding environment, characterized by extreme temperatures, high humidity, dust splashes and potentially explosive atmospheres, industrial lighting must meet strict safety and durability standards. Sammode luminaires, renowned for their robustness, are particularly well suited to these conditions. Their stainless steel tubular design ensures optimum watertightness (IP68/IP69K), making them resistant to corrosion, chemical agents and mechanical shocks.
By integrating these robust, high-performance lighting solutions, ArcelorMittal’s Dunkirk plant reinforces its commitment to safety, operational efficiency and sustainability, while guaranteeing an optimal working environment for its teams.
