| Arcelor emerges from
an amalgamation and from a will: from
the amalgamation of Aceralia, Arbed and
Usinor, and from the will of three European
iron&steel groups to implement the
synergy of their technical, industrial
and commercial know-how through a common
project and to constitute a world leader
whose ambition is its consolidation as
a benchmark in the steel industry. |
