According to ArcelorMittal, the blast furnace was not in operation due to instability in the national and international economic scenarios

On the next 26th, ArcelorMittal announced that it will restart the blast furnace at the Tubarão plant. According to the world’s largest steel producer, the furnace, with an annual capacity to produce 1.2 million tons of pig iron, has not been in operation since last year, when it underwent major maintenance and revisions, “due to national and international economic instability, it remained stagnant.”

The company also reported that all products from the blast furnace will be designated for export and that its customers are gradually resuming consumption.

ArcelorMittal states that, in addition, blast furnace 1 continues to operate, which has an annual production capacity of 3.5 million tons.

The third furnace was deactivated in April of this year and will remain out of operation, awaiting changes in the economic situation and steel demand in Brazil and worldwide.

According to the steelmaker, specialists from other locations around the world within the ArcelorMittal Group are assisting in the process of restarting the blast furnace.
