ArcelorMittal Ostrava has simplified its corporate structure and streamlined its internal processes, through a merger with its subsidiary, ArcelorMittal Frýdek-Místek – a cold rolling mill that mainly produces electrical steels. ArcelorMittal Frýdek-Místek will now operate under the commercial name of ArcelorMittal Ostrava.
In addition to its steel rolling plant, ArcelorMittal Frýdek-Místek also operates a cold rolling mill (Válcovna za studena) in Ostrava-Vítkovice, which is located on the premises of Vítkovice Steel. After the merger, major parts of the cold rolling production activities in Ostrava-Vítkovice have been transferred from Vítkovice to ArcelorMittal Frýdek-Místek. The changed structure of the former ArcelorMittal Frýdek-Místek company, including the merger with the parent company, will bring benefits in the consolidation of internal processes, management of material flow, consolidation of services, and overall streamlining of the administration.
