ArcelorMittal is restarting blast furnace B at its Gijón plant in Spain by mid-next week, ending months of downtime that followed a failed stabilisation attempt. The Luxembourg-based steelmaker has also confirmed a restart at its Dąbrowa Górnicza plant in Poland & plans a June restart at Fos-sur-Mer in France. The moves restore millions of metric tons of annual capacity as new European Union trade rules boost demand for locally made steel.
