ArcelorMittal Belgium

ArcelorMittal Belgium is a leading Belgian steel manufacturer and a key subsidiary of the global ArcelorMittal group, the world's largest steel producer. Headquartered in Brussels with primary operations centered in Ghent, the company operates four main sites across Belgium: Ghent (its largest integrated facility handling the full production process from raw materials to finished products), Geel (specializing in organic coating of steel coils), Genk (focused on electrolytic galvanizing), and Liège (expert in high-quality finishing through galvanizing and painting).

The company produces approximately 5 million tons of steel annually, primarily flat steel products for applications in automotive, construction, appliances, and renewable energy sectors such as wind turbines. It employs around 5,800 people and generates revenue of approximately €5 billion. As part of ArcelorMittal, it benefits from the parent's global scale while focusing on local innovation and sustainability.

ArcelorMittal Belgium emphasizes decarbonization, targeting net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2050 through its "Green Primary" strategy, which includes shifting to electric arc furnaces (EAF), increasing scrap usage, carbon capture and utilization (CCU) projects like Steelanol, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and energy efficiency measures. It recycles over 1 million tons of steel yearly and develops advanced, sustainable steel grades. The entity traces its roots to earlier Belgian steel operations, including Sidmar in Ghent, and was formalized under its current name following the 2006-2007 Arcelor-Mittal merger.
