Smelting furnaces in a number of European countries run by steel giant Arcelor Mittal are to be shut down in coming weeks, according to Belgian trade unions. Arcelor Mittal management in Belgium have given notice that smelting furnace number six in Seraing, eastern Belgium, will be shut down “in two weeks” until at least mid-February, CSC Metal union official Jordan Atanasov said.
Other furnaces in Dunkirk, France and Bremen and Eko Stahl, Germany, are also due to be shut down, unions said.
