ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products
Eurobox and Massilly use steel to meet customer demand for creative and sustainable packaging Read more
To do this, ArcelorMittal has established a strong network of account managers, segment managers, and customer technical service (CTS) engineers who maintain close links with customers. They are there to help you to choose the best steel product for your application and to understand the solutions you will need tomorrow. They give us market insights which feed our global R&D agenda and create a bridge between the laboratory and real-life.
Developing the future products you require is the responsibility of ArcelorMittal’s strong R&D network of 1,400 researchers. They already have a deep pipeline of product innovations running through to until 2025 and beyond. They are based on customer demand and will enable you to create lighter applications with improved corrosion and wear resistance, better formability, and/or higher strength.
ArcelorMittal’s new products will also help our customers address the major megatrends business faces today such as the transformation of mobility. To address this trend we invested significantly to develop our iCARe® electrical steels which maximise the efficiency and range of electric motors.
Another megatrend affecting ArcelorMittal is digitalisation and Industry 4.0. We are making significant progress on our digital journey in both our plants and our commercial applications. This year we have developed version 2.0 of our industry leading SteelUser platform which will be rolled out in the coming months.
The push for a faster response to climate change is also affecting our business. In May this year, we launched our first Climate Action Report. The document outlines the steps we are taking to develop low-emission steelmaking technologies and underlines ArcelorMittal’s commitment to the Paris Agreement.
ArcelorMittal is also a founding member of Responsible Steel, and is aiming to secure ResponsibleSteel certification for all its ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products sites, enabling each site to prove that our production processes meet rigorously defined standards across a broad range of social, environmental and governance criteria.
There is more to be done, but ArcelorMittal remains committed to meeting our responsibilities to our customers – and the planet.
