Arcelor Mittal (Germany) is one of the leading players in the electrical steel market and has been adopting inorganic and organic strategies to sustain its market position. In December 2019, ArcelorMittal announced the acquisition of Essar Steel India Limited (ESIL), a fully integrated flat carbon steel manufacturer located in Gujarat, India. The company simultaneously formed a joint venture with Nippon Steel Corporation, called ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India Limited, which will own and operate ESIL. This acquisition helped the company strengthen its market presence in India.
POSCO (South Korea) is another major company in the electrical steel market. It has been adopting organic and inorganic strategies to sustain its position in the market. In April 2019, the company announced plans to transfer Gwangyang LNG Terminal to POSCO Energy and merge off-gas power plants in Pohang and Gwangyang. The restructuring enhanced operational efficiency and strengthened the company’s LNG midstream business. In the same month, the company launched a new website POSCO Products. The website comprises six categories, such as products, industries, megatrend, media, application technology, and customer support, which makes technical products’ information more accessible for the general public and their clients. This attracted more customers, which in turn strengthened the customer base. As a part of its development plans, in FY2019, POSCO invested USD 48.8 billion for development projects. It included the construction of facilities for removing nitrogen oxide during iron ore processing at Pohang Works, rationalization of furnace no. 3 at Gwangyang Works, and the expansion of hyper-strength steel manufacturing facilities at Gwangyang Works.
