German term

Stahlstandort

German to English Marketing Manufacturing
I'm translating a website from a city in the Ruhrgebiet, in which it describes itself as a Stahlstandort. There's not much more to go on.

Would these mean a steel manufacturing site?

I find nothing definitive in my references or on the net.

I'd be grateful for any tips.

agree BrigitteHilgner : Hallo, Ulrike, mir ist "centre" in diesem Zusammenhang wesentlich lieber als "home" - das klingt so heimelig, und das verbinde ich überhaupt nicht mit dem Ruhrgebiet. Ein sachlicher Ausdruck ist da viel besser. Weiterhin frohes Schaffen!

Danke, Brigitte. Für mich klingt "home" so, als sei die Stahlherstellung dort erfunden worden (und deshalb auch dort zu Hause). Dir auch frohes Schaffen!
