    ArcelorMittal USA CEO warns a hot strip mill could close

    Published on Tue, 07 Jul 2015 178 times viewed

    The Times reported that one of the Calumet Region's largest employers is warning that it doesn't make sense to keep so many hot strip mills open at a time when they're so under-used.

    ArcelorMittal USA Flat Carbon CEO Mr Andy Harshaw recently blogged the steelmaker must find ways to increase capacity utilization without decreasing total production or market share, which could have ramifications for local employment.

    He wrote in a blog "Record levels of steel imports — up 70 percent for flat carbon products alone since 2013 — have consumed typical market demand that domestic steelmakers like ArcelorMittal would normally serve. As a result of this and other market forces, many of our key assets are running at relatively low capacity utilization levels, and they have been for quite some time."

    Mr Harshaw said for instance ArcelorMittal's hot strip mills are only operating at 70 percent capacity. He wrote “The steelmaker has to pay operations and maintenance costs for the hot strip mills, even when they aren't making steel about 30 percent of the time. Each of the companies' four largest HSMs in the US requires an average of USD 39 million per year in repair and maintenance just to keep them operating. It is not sustainable to operate multiple HSMs at low utilization rates when the same volume of steel could be produced by fewer HSMs at higher utilization rates. Why run five HSMs at 70 percent when you can finish the same tonnage running four HSMs at 90 percent capacity? Consolidating the HSMs and running at higher utilization rates also leads to more efficient use of repair and maintenance dollars, allowing us to invest more in the remaining assets. The same logic would apply to other operations as well, from the hot end to finishing."

    Mr Harshaw said “ArcelorMittal must look at selling off some assets and investing in others, in order to keep its most strategic facilities running as close to 100 percent utilization as possible. The company hopes to lower operating costs at a time when market conditions are so weak. Clearly, we face formidable challenges with difficult choices ahead. It's no secret that ArcelorMittal USA's financial performance has been poor. Fixed costs — including wages, medical costs and post-retirement expenses — are significant and don’t fluctuate with the ebb and flow of steel consumption or market prices for the products we produce. These costs are increasing each year while our average steel selling prices have declined dramatically due to imports and capacity utilization rests at historically low levels."

    He wrote "Companies that adapt to changing conditions will survive; those who refuse to change will continue to fill the coffers of the bankruptcy lawyers.”

    The Luxembourg-based steelmaker, which has US headquarters in Chicago, operates a hot strip mill in Riverdale just across the state line, an 80-inch hot strip mill in Burns Harbor and 80-inch and 84-inch hot strip mills at ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor in East Chicago. ArcelorMittal also has a 84-inch hot strip mill at its steel mill in Cleveland.

    The multinational steelmaker estimates its US operations have lost an average of USD 293.8 million a year over the last five years and that it spends more than USD 1 billion a year in overall repair and maintenance costs in the United States every year.

    Laatst ING met ruim 200 % winst verkocht en nu Arcelor Mittal verdubbeld op € 7,90 nu gemiddeld aankoop op € 8,21, heb nog voldoende middelen om eventueel bij te kopen richting de € 7,-, maar voorkeur blijft een koers nu boven de € 7,50 !!!
