ArcelorMittal

ArcelorMittal South Africa was established as Iscor 1928 in Pretoria and the first steel was tapped from and open-hearth furnace on 4 April 1934. Its merger in 2006 with Arcelor reshaped the company into a competitive provider of steel products to the local and international markets. It is the largest steel producer on the African continent, producing approximately 7.8 million tonnes of liquid steel per annum. The company is the world’s largest steel company and has an industrial presence in 27 countries across the world and one of the world’s lowest cash cost producers of steel. The company’s unique knack to generate profits and cash throughout the fluctuations of the steel cycle is a clear indication to the success of years of thorough production re-engineering. Through ArcelorMittal, Arecelor Mittal SA has access to excellent research and development facilities to ensure they remain as the best steel providers in the world.
