ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products
Speaking at the supplier day presentation Marco Bassan, Procurement Director, Global Steel and EMEA Steel & Resins at Whirlpool said: “ArcelorMittal is not only a strategic supplier, but a real partner for Whirlpool. Our companies have been cooperating successfully across different regions for decades.”
ArcelorMittal has been recognised by Whirlpool EMEA for the high quality of its products. The 2016 Excellence Award was presented to the ArcelorMittal Group at Whirlpool’s supplier day held in October 2017. It is recognition that the steels supplied by ArcelorMittal had the lowest level of claims of any supplier to the company.
Even though the two companies have worked together for many years, this is the first time ArcelorMittal has received such a prestigious award from Whirlpool.
