Headquartered in Luxembourg, ArcelorMittal is one of the world’s largest vertically-integrated steel companies. Formed from the 2006 hostile takeover of European group Arcelor by India’s Mittal, the group’s steel production now largely takes place in Europe and North America, with iron and coking coal mining also taking place in South America, Africa and the former Soviet Union. The company is a major supplier of steel in various forms to the automotive and construction industries, but it also sells to packaging companies, appliance manufacturers and on the wholesale market.
