Italian term or phrase: producono impianti che lavorano l’acciaio per cemento
This comes from a text describing images of a steel manufacturing company in a photo book (most of which is non-technical). Perhaps my total ignorance of steel manufacture is the problem here but surely the production of plants is not ongoing and how does one produce cement from steel?? I am totally lost!! Can anyone illuminate me??

Sentence: ''[nome del paese] dove duecentocinquanta dipendenti producono impianti che lavorano l’acciaio per cemento - fino al generale, rappresentato dal tessuto urbano e naturale in cui questa impresa è nata nel 1967 e si è sviluppata''

@TechLawDC perhaps I should have translated "producano" more clearly with "they produce"

"lavorano" here probably means "they manufacture" (fabbricano, confeziono)
