ArcelorMittal to build EAF steel facility at Calvert in Alabama

ArcelorMittal has announced its intention to build an electric arc furnace (EAF) steel making facility at AM/NS Calvert in Alabama.Once completed, the facility will be capable of producing 1.5 million tonnes of steel slabs for the hot strip mill. It will produce a broad spectrum of steel grades required for Calvert's end-user markets.Construction is expected to take 24 months and the new facility is anticipated to create 300 additional jobs in the community, the company said. Lakshmi Mittal, Chairman and CEO of ArcelorMittal, said: “An electric arc furnace at Calvert makes strategic sense as it allows our asset to be more reactive to the local market as well as being in line with the USMCA. Furthermore, it aligns with our ambition of producing smarter steels for a better world.” Brad Davey, CEO,
