About this update from Danieli & C. Officine Meccaniche S.p.a.

Marcegaglia and Danieli have signed an agreement for the implementation of a new steelmaking and flat rolling facility in Fos-sur-Mer, France. The new plant will produce more than 2 Mtpy of liquid steel and up to 3 Mtpy of stainless and carbon steel hot-rolled coils, covering around 35% of Marcegaglia Group's total coil and slab demand. Production will primarily supply the Group's Italian downstream facilities for a wide range of applications. The plant will include a modern electric arc furnace equipped with state-of-the-art technology, a single-strand continuous slab caster for thick slabs, and a conventional hot-strip mill. This configuration will ensure production flexibility, stable operations, and consistent product quality across a broad range of flat steel grades. The project is designed with a strong focus on sustainability. Engineered in compliance with the most stringent European environmental and safety standards, the Fos-sur-Mer complex will leverage advanced automation systems, optimized resource utilization, and energy-efficient technologies. The use of scrap, low-carbon HBI, and nuclear and renewable energy sources will enable up to 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional steelmaking routes. The project supports Marcegaglia's objective of strengthening its competitive positioning in the European flat steel market through sustainable, capital-efficient growth, while contributing to Danieli's continued commitment to enabling the steel industry's green transition.
