Konsorcjum Stali and ArcelorMittal have signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to build their cooperation in promoting ArcelorMittal’s Amstrong® hot rolled steel products and their co-engineering solutions – all designed for the growing market in tough and demanding industrial applications.



Konsorcjum Stali is one of the largest steel distributors in Poland, employing over 700 people, and has been working with ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products since 2004. Two new cutting lines being installed in its Częstochowa plant this year will increase the company’s capacity on flat products by 100%. This new capacity offers both companies the chance to develop their partnership on high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel grades within the Amstrong® product family.

Amstrong® is ArcelorMittal’s range of HSLA structural steels developed specifically for high mechanical performance, weight savings and processing efficiency, for industries including transport, construction machinery, agricultural equipment and general engineering.

Amstrong® Ultra is ArcelorMittal's range of ultra high-strength structural steels where weight reduction, high fatigue resistance and structural integrity are critical. With minimum yield strengths from 650 to 960 MPa, it enables manufacturers to design lighter, stronger and longer components without compromising on safety and reliability.



Amstrong® and Amstrong® Ultra are ideally suited to the structural performance requirements of a wide range of industrial, transport and agricultural applications.

High strength steels are gaining market momentum across these sectors due to lightweighting, advantages, durability and life cycle cost savings.

“We greatly value our enhanced partnership and collaboration with ArcelorMittal, not least for the qualities of their Amstrong® portfolio. The depth and breadth of their expertise and service support enables a unique co-engineering offering to develop the best solutions for our customers”, says Janusz Smołka, President of the Management Board, Konsorcjum Stali. “It’s a win-win for both companies.”

The MoU was signed on 21 April 2026 at Konsorcjum Stali’s Częstochowa Service Centre. From left to right: Tomasz Plaskura, CMO East Europe ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products and Janusz Smołka, President of the Management Board Konsorcjum Stali.

Konsorcjum Stali’s new investment includes two new “state-of-the-art” cut-to-length lines, combining roller levelling and tension straightening, thereby removing ‘shape memory’ characteristics in the finished material. The new lines enable continuous cutting of entire coils without any disturbance or slow down, further improving product quality.

“We are delighted to be strengthening our ties with Konsorcjum Stali, especially with the growth potential of our Amstrong® product portfolio in Poland and Central Europe. We have been impressed by their ongoing expansion and expertise, and we see their investment in Częstochowa as very well timed to offer enhanced capabilities in high-strength steels,” comments Tomasz Plaskura, CMO East Europe, ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products.
