  • 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.

  • The Modern Brazilian Steel Industry
    THE MODERN BRAZILIAN STEEL INDUSTRY By Professor Celso Lafer* *Minister of Foreign Relations Notwithstanding the importance of pioneer initiatives by the first generation of Brazilian industrialists, the foundation and growth of the modern steel industry in Brazil was made, in great part, by the state. Steel symbolized industrialization which, for many decades, was synonymous with progress. The government realized, correctly, that having vast reserves of iron ore, Brazil could aspire to a significant steel industry. And it acted on this belief, creating the industry during the Getúlio Vargas administration and promoting its growth during the decades of 1960 and 1970. The predominantly state model that was necessary at the industry’s inception had some success cases. Without the government’s action in the 1930s and 1940s, Brazil would probably not have developed a robust steel-producing base. During the following decades Brazil positioned itself among the main producers and exporters of steel in the world. The state model came to an end, as happened in other sectors, when the government management crisis brought to the surface unsustainable inefficiencies and weaknesses of the productive segment. During the 1990s the steel sector experienced a great transformation. In three years, between 1991 and 1993, all of the state steel industry was privatized through public bidding, and massive investment began to modernize it. In 1998 alone more funds were invested than the sum of monies invested during the 5-year period 1989-1994. In total, between 1994 and 2000, the new steel mill owners invested US$ 10.2 billion in modernization, upgrading, cost reduction and environmental protection works.

  • “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.
