ArcelorMittal Brazil, the local subsidiary of ArcelorMittal, is mulling “big” investments for the next few years, as the local steel industry sees a growing domestic demand, according to a media report by O Tempo.
The company is now finishing investment studies, which are expected to be unveiled by year-end, said Jefferson de Paula, the company’s CEO, who replaced the former leading executive, Benjamin Baptista Filho on October 1, as reported by SteelOrbis.
The company’s investments should cover mining and long steel projects in Minas Gerais state.
