SSAB operates two major steel production facilities in Finland, located in [[Raahe]] and [[Hämeenlinna]]. The Raahe plant, originally established as [[Rautaruukki]] in the 1960s to support Finland's heavy industry, is one of the youngest integrated steel plants in Europe. It began operations with its first [[blast furnace]] in 1964, followed by an LD steel plant and rolling mills in the subsequent years.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SSAB Raahe – The Beauty of Steel |url=https://thebeautyofsteel.com/steel-plants-archive/ssab-raahe-2/ |access-date=18 February 2025 |website=thebeautyofsteel.com}}</ref> The Hämeenlinna facility, which started production in 1972, specialises in processing steel into coated products, including galvanised steel for industries such as automotive manufacturing.
