Arcerion Steel Corporation
Arcerion Steel Corporation, more commonly known in Ixnay as Arco Steel, is an Arcer steel producer and iron ore mining corporation headquartered in Kurst, Arcerion with production and extraction facilities primarily in the Aileach Mountains and with subsidiary corporations in Southern Crona. It is consistently ranked as one of the largest steel producers in Ixnay, and is the largest in Crona, and by 2030 is estimated to be the main steel exporter to Sarpedon.
It has gone through several different iterations and reformations since its inception in 1848, and maintains a close working relationship with energy sector partners due to the oil field exploitation in the Albion Sea.
History
Roughly a decade after the founding of Easthampton, Arcerion Steel Corporation was registered with the Lieutenant-Governor's office as a Crown Corporation, although shortly thereafter it was bought back by private investors, notably John O. Marsden, Reginald Billsworth, and Adam F. Chauncey. With the initial founding of the company, mining operations were set up for iron ore strip mining, with ground broken in 1849, a year after the company was registered. The strip mine began by using a light rail network to transport the ore to Chester-on-Moore but under the supervision of the first steel magnate, John O. Marsden, there was an opportunity to secure funding from the Arcer government and the Ardmori Crown, and establish the company's first steel plant.
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 Arcer National Railway Service 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 contirbuting the majority of the ships and naval commerce to their Cronan colony.
