ArcelorMittal

ArcelorMittal is a multinational steel manufacturing corporation and the world's second-largest steel producer by output. The company is headquartered in Luxembourg and operates in more than 60 countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. ArcelorMittal was formed in 2006 through the merger of Arcelor and Mittal Steel, bringing together two of the industry's largest players under the leadership of Indian-born billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, who serves as executive chairman. The company produces a wide range of steel products including flat steel, long steel, tubular products and specialty steels for the automotive, construction, household appliances and packaging sectors. ArcelorMittal also has significant iron-ore and coal mining operations to supply its steelmaking facilities. The group is listed on stock exchanges in New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Luxembourg and several other markets. In South Africa, ArcelorMittal operates through its subsidiary ArcelorMittal South Africa, which runs integrated steelworks at Vanderbijlpark and Newcastle, along with rolling mills and distribution centres. The company's global revenue exceeds tens of billions of dollars annually, and it employs around 190 000 people worldwide. ArcelorMittal has pursued strategies focused on decarbonisation, digitalisation and operational efficiency to maintain competitiveness in a challenging global steel market. The company remains a dominant force in the steel industry, supplying critical materials to infrastructure and manufacturing value chains around the world.
