AMSA says steel shortage will be ‘quickly’ resolved after early restart of blast furnace

Steel producer ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) says the earlier-than-planned restart of its second blast furnace at the Vanderbijlpark Works will position the company to “quickly resolve” the current shortage of steel, which has been negatively affecting downstream fabricators and manufacturers for several months. The JSE-listed company restarted Blast Furnace C on December 20 to help address the supply backlog, having originally planned to restart the facility in January this year.
