- ArcelorMittal South Africa Ltd manufactures and sells steel products in South Africa and internationally through its Steel Operations and Non-Steel Operations segments. The company produces flat steel products including hot rolled plate, hot rolled coil pickled and oiled, cold rolled coil, galvanized coil, color coil such as Chromadek, and electrogalvanized coil; long steel products comprising fencing profiles, forgings, heavy structural sections, hexagon bars, hollow bars, mining bars, rails, reinforcing and Y bars, round and square bars, special profiles, window sections, wire rods, billets, and blooms; light bay and heavy bay steel castings; hot rolled and cold drawn seamless tube products; and commercial coke and commercial grade coal. It serves industries such as agriculture, armament, automotive, bolt and nut, chains, construction, engineering, furniture and appliances, mining, packaging, piping, renewable energy, roofing and cladding, and tubing.
Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa, ArcelorMittal South Africa Ltd operates four major steel plants in the country and is a subsidiary of ArcelorMittal Holdings AG.
In recent developments, the company deferred the previously announced wind down of its Long Steel Business following a R1.683 billion facility from the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa (IDC), enabling continued operations of key facilities including safeguards during an optimization period focused on product enhancements, supply chain reliability, and localization efforts. Exclusive talks with IDC for a potential acquisition valued around USD 460-491 million, which would include assumption of liabilities and possible private-sector partners, concluded without a deal in November 2025 after due diligence, though strategic discussions involving government entities persist.
