Management is confident that the contingency plans in place will ensure delivery to most customers throughout December. The December shut down period is expected to ease the pressure on the plants and customer orders for the New Year will not be impacted. The Newcastle Works reline is one of the largest investments made by ArcelorMittal South Africa, aimed at increasing domestic capacity, which further indicates ArcelorMittal South Africa’s commitment to the South African steel industry and to the local economy. 19 November 2014 Sponsor to ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited J.P.
