Sobre Nós

ArcelorMittal is 's werelds grootste staal- en mijnbouwbedrijf, met een aanwezigheid in 60 landen en primaire staalfabrieken in 16 landen. In 2022 had ArcelorMittal een omzet van 79,8 miljard dollar en een ruwstaalproductie van 59,0 miljoen ton, terwijl de ijzerertsproductie 45,3 miljoen ton bereikte.

Ons doel is om steeds slimmere staalsoorten te produceren die een positief voordeel hebben voor mens en planeet. Staalsoorten, gemaakt met behulp van innovatieve processen die minder energie verbruiken, aanzienlijk minder koolstof uitstoten en de kosten verlagen. Staalsoorten die milieuvriendelijker, sterker en herbruikbaar zijn. Het staal voor elektrische voertuigen en de infrastructuur voor hernieuwbare energie zullen onze transformerende samenleving ondersteunen.

Met staal als kern, onze inventieve medewerkers en onze ondernemerscultuur, zullen we de wereld ondersteunen bij het maken van die verandering. Dit is wat er volgens ons nodig is om het staalbedrijf van de toekomst te zijn.

ArcelorMittal is genoteerd op de beurzen van New York (MT), Amsterdam (MT), Parijs (MT), Luxemburg (MT) en op de Spaanse beurzen van Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid en Valencia (MTS).
