To produce iron and steel you require lots of heavy iron ore and lots of coal. Transporting these long distances is possible via massive container ships or trains but it is quite expensive and has only become an option relativly recently.
Many steel and iron industries are located near to the coal and iron ore mines to reduce transport costs.
The world's biggest producer of steel is china.
