What ArcelorMittal does

World's second-largest steelmaker, producing flat and long steel products for construction, automotive, and industrial customers globally.

Sells steel at prices that follow market indexes, partly under annual contracts with carmakers and appliance makers, and uses its own iron-ore mines to hold down raw-material cost. The Mittal family controls it. Since 2020 it sold its main US mills and has expanded in India, where it runs a joint venture with Nippon Steel.

In one line: A global Nucor / U.S. Steel combined.
