The first steel factory, employed a few hundred naturalized Arcers, Ardmori immigrants, and indigenous labourers began its operations in refinement of raw iron ore into finished, flat rolled steel, the first finished pieces being shipped via the [[Arco National Railway Service|Arcer National Railway Service]] (ARNS) to Chester-on-Moore in 1851. Marsden ensured that wharf and dockyard facilities were bought, and worked on building and establishing a relationship with merchant mariners from [[Burgundie]] to ship the steel abroad, seeing as the Arcer shipbuilding industry had yet to create any large commercial freighters, instead focusing on inland expansion and railways, as the Ardmori government and Crown was contributing the majority of the ships and naval commerce to their Cronan colony. | The first steel factory, employed a few hundred naturalized Arcers, Ardmori immigrants, and indigenous labourers began its operations in refinement of raw iron ore into finished, flat rolled steel, the first finished pieces being shipped via the predecessor to [[Arco National Railway Service|Arcer National Railway Service]] (ARNS), [[Easthampton Railways]], to Chester-on-Moore in 1851.

Marsden, then Chairman of the Board of Directors, assigned Billsworth to travel to Chester-on-Moore, then well on track becoming the largest commercial sea port in Arcerion, to establish a subsidiary of Arco Steel, to store and ship the final finished products to their growing customer base in Levantia. The cheaper and high quality Arcer steel was increasingly becoming a more attractive option than domestically produced steel, as the imports could leverage Arcerion's relatively small and growing economy versus the tighter margins of contemporary Levantine counterparts. This was concurrent in Sarpedon, where Arco Steel was becoming a consistent choice for the use of constructing new industrial facilities due to its low buying cost. An 1859 agreement between the ARNS and Arco Steel established the Chester Steel Station, a major railhead and loading/offloading facility for Arcer steel in Chester-on-Moore, and created a satellite facility in Port Hughes to the Southwest to accommodate for a growing surplus of steel produced. | Marsden, then Chairman of the Board of Directors, assigned Billsworth to travel to Chester-on-Moore, then well on track becoming the largest commercial sea port in Arcerion, to establish a subsidiary of Arco Steel, to store and ship the final finished products to their growing customer base in Levantia.

The Kinnaird Steel Building is an alternate company headquarters located in Kinnaird, Arcerion. While the company maintains its main offices and the most of the senior corporate officers live in Easthampton, there is a significant footprint from the firm in Kinnaird due to its nexus as a central financial center in Arcerion. The Steel Building was constructed with beams manufactured in Factory No.1, and the glass with sand that was moved for the construction in Factory No.3 before the Second Great War. It represents the headquarters for the Subsidiaries Division, and manages many of the non-daily activities of mining, manufacturing, and processing steel and steel products. However the Steel Building manages much of the financial investment, foreign investment and development, political lobbying, and corporate takeovers of smaller competitor companies. While there are anti-monopoly laws in Arcerion to prevent the construction of large trade cartels, Arco Steel has long been able to avoid them due to their ability to diversify their industry in the 20th century to ensure they had access to all portions of the steel production chain. | |||

Poor local manufacturing and refinement meant that Arcerion-produced goods such as steel and raw iron ore have been an attractive alternative to locally produced goods. | ||
* {{flagicon|Alstin}} [[Alstin|United Republic of Alstin]]; The large shipbuilding industry for the island nation of Alstin has long used Arcer steel, as well as been the lifeline and backbone that brought it to the world prior to the expansion of the Arcer shipbuilding industry, but it remained primarily focused on green water sea travel in the Malentine and Songun. Alstin has purchased Arcer steel for over a century, and is a longstanding traditional partner of Arco Steel. | * {{flagicon|Alstin}} [[Alstin|United Republic of Alstin]]; The large shipbuilding industry for the island nation of Alstin has long used Arcer steel, as well as been the lifeline and backbone that brought it to the world prior to the expansion of the Arcer shipbuilding industry, but it remained primarily focused on green water sea travel in the Malentine and Songun.
