History and when ArcelorMittal S.A. was created
ArcelorMittal S.A. was formed in 2006 following the merger of Arcelor and Mittal Steel, creating the world’s largest steel producer.

The combination of both companies resulted in a group with expanded production capacity and broader global reach.

2006: Merger between Arcelor and Mittal Steel, forming the largest steel producer in the world.
2011: Acquisition of new operations in South America and Africa, expanding involvement in iron ore mining.
2016: Operational restructuring and investment in new technologies to increase production efficiency.
2020–2024: Expansion of decarbonization projects and technological innovation in the steel sector to meet new market demands.
In recent years, ArcelorMittal has focused on reducing the environmental impact of its operations, investing in more sustainable processes and exploring opportunities in material recycling and reuse.
