ArcelorMittal Poland temporarily suspends blast furnace no. 3 at Dąbrowa Górnicza from September 2025 due to severe market challenges. High energy prices, costly carbon emission allowances, & a surge in low-cost steel imports have squeezed margins, rendering dual blast furnace operations unprofitable. The company pledges employment protection amid the shutdown and plans to resume operations when market conditions improve. This move highlights ongoing pressures facing European steel producers in a globalised economy.
