ArcelorMittal will be creating 700 new jobs at its French sites in 2014. ArcelorMittal is the largest steel company in France, with a workforce of nearly 20,000 over some 50 industrial and distribution sites.
These new, permanent jobs cover a wide range of roles and activities within the company, and are in addition to the 600 staff that ArcelorMittal recruited in France in 2013, most notably at its Dunkirk, Mardyck, Montataire and Desvres sites in northern France.
This recruitment drive confirms the central role that France plays in the group’s strategy and industrial approach at both European and global levels. ArcelorMittal designs and manufactures highly advanced steels in France; France has become the group’s leading production centre for steel used in the automotive sector (Usibor and iCARe) as well as the leading production centre for steel for the energy sector. The company’s largest global R&D centre is located in Maizières, France. The group has invested more than EUR 2B since 2006 in the production of high-quality steels in France.
