  • Arcelormittal Is Again Counting on the Strengths of the AUMUND Drag Chain Conveyor Type LOUISE São Paulo, Brazil, April 2017
    Press Information ArcelorMittal is again counting on the strengths of the AUMUND Drag Chain Conveyor Type LOUISE São Paulo, Brazil, April 2017 The steel maker ArcelorMittal is building on proven solutions and reliable partners in Brazil. About 20 years ago, a shock-pressure-proof drag chain conveyor was ordered for Brazil from LOUISE Fördertechnik before this company was acquired by AUMUND Fördertechnik GmbH, and now AUMUND has won an order for another drag chain conveyor type LOUISE TKF. The shock-pressure-proof design of its predecessor was no longer required for the new model because of the change in classification of the plant segment. The dispatch of the machine is planned for June 2017. 1998: AUMUND Drag Chain Conveyor, type LOUISE TKF, in ArcelorMittal’s João Monlevade plant in Brazil (photo AUMUND) The earlier model drag chain conveyor was ordered in 1998 by the then Brazilian arm of the Luxemburg steel company Arbed, CSBM, Companhia Siderurgica Belgo Mineira. Arcelor was created by the merger of Aceralia and Usinor and merged with Mittal in 2006 to become ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel concern. Press Information Around fifteen years ago, AUMUND Fördertechnik GmbH integrated the products of the LOUISE subsidiary into its own portfolio. This double strand drag chain conveyor with a capacity of 3 kW, a centre distance of 10.4 m and a performance of 25 t/h, will be used for bunker extraction. The previous machine proved its durability in an interesting way. One of the supports of a weighing cell collapsed and caused one side of the silo to subside.

  • “Social Aspects and Financing of Industrial Restructuring”
    INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE REGIONAL FORUM “Social Aspects and Financing of Industrial Restructuring” 26 and 27 November 2003, Moscow, Russian Federation Topic 2. Social costs of restructuring and their financing: a closer view Restructuring in the Industry of Luxembourg. Major Issues, Actors and Lessons to Learn By Mr. Albert ZENNER – Director Human Resources, Arbed – Arcelor Group Luxembourg (This paper is being circulated by the secretariat as received from the author) UNITED NATIONS Page 1 sur 13 Restructuring in the Industry of Luxembourg Major issues, Actors and Lessons to learn By Albert ZENNER, Director Human Resources, Arbed – Arcelor Group. Luxembourg might be known by many of You as a banking centre or a country hosting European institutions, and some of You will even know that it is the Headquarters of ARCELOR, the world’s largest steel producer, created by the merger of three companies: the French USINOR, the Spanish ACERALIA, and ARBED, the steel company of LUXEMBOURG. All this is true, but LUXEMBOURG is also an independent country, which has undergone deep changes during the last three decades. These changes result from the restructuring of the steel industry, which for more than a century has been the pillar of the Luxembourg economy. During my presentation I will speak about the major issues of this restructuring, the key players, and the lessons to learn from our point of view. I will also try to show how some of the lessons are applied now within the new group ARCELOR. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION AND POPULATION. For locating Luxembourg geographically we have to zoom the map of Western Europe.

  • Eric Godelier Is a Professor at the École Polytechnique and Vice-Dean for Research of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department
    Pechine Did the 1970s Crisis Lead to Convergence or Divergence? Usinor vs. Pechiney: An Examination of Renewal in the Steel and Aluminum Industries Éric Godelier and Muriel Le Roux Usinor, since 2001 a major part of Arcelor, leads the world steel market, whereas in aluminum, Pechiney was swallowed up in a 2003 merger with the giant Canadian firm, Alcan. The two French companies faced similar problems during the 1970s: a sharp decrease in demand, the need to renew production capacities and to shift to more innovative processes, and the end of paternalistic labor management regimes. Although the market rules and structures of the two industries differ, as do their economic and social importance in France, there is a resemblance between steel and aluminum industrial and management models. Is this evidence of evolution toward total industrial similarity? In fact, the situation is complex. What explains Usinor’s success as a major force in Arcelor, while Pechiney was relegated to a small role in Alcan? In the late 1960s, while Usinor engaged in a large mass-consumption market with products of low or average quality, Pechiney produced high-quality goods for a small number of aluminum users. Aluminum appeared to be “the” modern material, with steel viewed as a more common product. But Pechiney abandoned its focus on aluminum, while Usinor remained focused on its historic strengths—continuous mill technology and flat steel products. Whereas in 2001 Usinor (Union sidérurgique du Nord de la France) became a major part of Arcelor, which leads the world steel market, Pechiney followed a more difficult path, culminating in its takeover by the giant Canadian aluminum company Alcan in 2003.
