Metal Coating Line #7 (MCL7)
BlueScope has successfully delivered Metal Coating Line #7 (MCL7) at the Western Sydney Service Centre (WSSC), marking a significant milestone in the company's investment in advanced Australian manufacturing.
Located adjacent to the existing Coil Paint Line #8 (CPL8), MCL7 was approved by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment as a State Significant Development in September 2023. Following an extensive design, engineering and procurement phase, construction commenced in late 2023 and was completed across multiple stages, including civil works, structural construction, equipment installation and the expansion of administration facilities.
The flagship facility will add up to 240,000 tonnes of metal coating capacity, supporting growth in BlueScope's coated steel portfolio, including COLORBOND® and TRUECORE® steel products.
The project has delivered substantial economic benefits to Western Sydney and the broader region, supporting more than 250 construction jobs during delivery and creating approximately 45 new permanent full-time roles at the facility.
The successful completion of MCL7 represents a major investment in innovation, operational excellence and the future growth of BlueScope's Australian operations.
