Historic agreement to create the No.1 Global Steel Company
Creating the world's largest steel company, Mittal Steel and Arcelor reach an agreement
to combine the two companies in a merger of equals. The terms of the transaction were
reviewed by the Boards of Arcelor and Mittal Steel which each recommended the
transaction to their shareholders. The combined group, domiciled and headquartered in
Luxembourg, is named Arcelor Mittal.
Demonstrating the commitment to extend markets in developing nations, a strategic
partnership between Arcelor Mittal and SNI (Société Nationale d'Investissement) is
concluded concerning the development of Sonasid. This consolidates and develops the
position of Sonasid on the Moroccan market, allowing the company to benefit from the
transfer of Arcelor Mittal's technologies and skills in the long carbon steel product sector.
ArcelorMittal is the world's number one steel company, present in more than 60
countries. It has led the consolidation of the world steel industry and today ranks as the
only truly global steelmaker.
ArcelorMittal is the leader in all major global markets, including automotive,
construction, household appliances and packaging. The Group leads in R&D and
technology, holds sizeable captive supplies of raw materials and operates extensive
distribution networks.
Its industrial presence in Europe, Asia, Africa and America gives the Group exposure to
all the key steel markets, from emerging to mature. ArcelorMittal will be looking to
develop positions in the high-growth Chinese and Indian markets.
ArcelorMittal key financials for 2008 show revenues of $124.9 billion and crude steel
production of 103.3 million tonnes, representing approximately 10% of world steel
output.

Research dedicated to process
Process R&D is indispensable for the implementation of new steel products and
solutions but also to meet the following objectives:- cost reduction through improved
productivity and reliability in our production processes;- improved environmental
performance through reduced emissions; increased product and by-product recycling;
energy saving; flexibility in the use of raw materials and energy resources; and the
systematic study of the impact of our products and processes on the environment
through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Turnkey and Greenfield Projects
Arcelormittal has been very sensitive about its environmental footprint and is constantly
emphasizes ‘sustainability as a part of its policies’. It has a set of envioronmental
policies which the company follows:
On the other hand, Linde North America led a four-month, turnkey project to implement
the REBOX® flameless oxyfuel technology at the seamless tube mill. The result was a
25 percent increase in reheating capacity and a decrease in fuel consumption of 50
percent versus oxy-enrichment and 65 percent versus airfuel. The implementation also
delivered improved temperature uniformity for better piercing results, a 50 percent
reduction of scale formation and minimized nitrogen oxide (NOX) and carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions. With this company, Arcelormittal has planned to help the company as
much as they can in the other projects like this.
Arcelormittal also has a foundation which does social responsibility work for the
company. The Casa Buna prototype wasin the ArcelorMittal facility in Pantelimon,
Bucharest. It uses a steel frame superstructure, steel roof tile system, steel rainwater
extraction system and a steel cladding. The model has been tested for energy efficiency
and carefully assessed to ensure comfort and adequate living space. As a result of its
partnership with Habitat for Humanity, in 2009 ArcelorMittal is constructing three ‘Casa
Buna’ homes (housing 12 families) in Romania. The Group is also providing funding for
critically needed renovations to more than 20 apartment block homes in the country.
These renovations also include measures to improve energy efficiency.
ArcelorMittal supports the European Regulation of 18 December 2006 concerning
the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH),
which entered into force on 1 June 2007.
Companies from the ArcelorMittal Group, like all European companies manufacturing,
importing or using chemical substances covered by REACH, are concerned by this new
European Regulation and will make every effort to comply with it, without compromising
their commercial relationships with customers.
ArcelorMittal is actively engaged in the REACH process and ensures that the
manufactured or imported substances on their own or in preparations are pre-registered
and will give notification of any substances of very high concern (SVHC) in articles,
according to REACH requirements.
