A faithful beacon shining from a lighthouse shows the way to a safe harbor. Sparrows Point is striving to offer the same rock-solid reliability to its customers, employees, stockholders and communities.

Our reason for existence is basic. We manufacture steel and sell it to our customers. Because we are in business to serve and satisfy this select group - our customers - they deserve our utmost consideration.

The customers of Sparrows Point deserve to get superior service and high-quality steel at a competitive cost. We can deliver. We pledge to be reliable. If we can serve customers in a way that will help them to improve their businesses, then our business will also benefit. We have found that, in working as partners toward continual improvement, our customers have also become our friends.

All of Sparrows Point's skilled employees carry out the jobs necessary to provide superior service to customers. For our employees, the division represents a beacon of reliability in a good paycheck, safe workplace and worthwhile challenges that lead to personal fulfillment and success.

As our employees meet challenges and take on new ones day-by-day, they are supported by our stockholders and communities, which also share in our successes. Bethlehem intends to be the premier steel company not only with its products, but also with its value as an investment and with its resolve to be a good citizen in our communities.

While we continuously change for the better, we are fortunate that one thing remains the same. Steel is just as important now as it was more than a century ago when Sparrows Point was founded on the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. Shining out from this peninsula today, however, there is a strong new beacon showing the way to a safe harbor for our customers, employees, stockholders and communities.
