ArcelorMittal Galati is the largest integrated iron and steel works in Romania, accounting for over 50 per cent of the country’s steel production. Built in the 1960s, ArcelorMittal Galati is an integrated blast furnace BOF operation with a capacity of 5.5 million tons. It produces high-quality plate, hot and cold rolled sheet, galvanized sheet, large diameter longitudinally welded pipes and blooms as billets. Two-third of its production is exported – to more than 40 countries.
The company was privatized in 2001 when it was acquired by Mittal Steel. With a major modernization program underway, the company has set itself the goal of becoming the operating benchmark for steel making in Central and Eastern Europe. ArcelorMittal Galati has long produced the high quality steel required by the world’s most demanding industries – including shipbuilding, the automotive sector, construction and earth moving, oil and gas. The company has achieved certification standards as diverse as the industries it serves.
Now, with the introduction of a new customer relationship program, Customer Dynamics, each customer has a single contact point within the company. There has been a measurable improvement in the efficient expedition of orders and the meeting of delivery targets.
ArcelorMittal Galati enjoys ready access to the world’s sea routes as well as other transport infrastructure. The plant is located at the Danube port of Galati, 80 miles from the Black Sea. The river is navigable to ships of up to 30,000 tdw. Barge convoys, linking the Black Sea with Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Ukraine, pass through Galati. There is also access to Romania’s main port, Constanta, via the Danube or Danube-Black Sea canal.
