Join us at Wire Fair 2026 in Düsseldorf

ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products, together with our colleagues from Tubular Products Europe and WireSolutions, will present our latest developments at Wire & Tube 2026, taking place from 13 to 17 April in Düsseldorf, Germany. The joint presence underlines ArcelorMittal’s commitment to customer proximity, sustainable steelmaking and high-performance product solutions across key industries.

The focus will be on low-CO2 steel production, advanced tubular solutions and a broad wire portfolio supporting sectors such as construction, automotive, energy and infrastructure.

“With our extensive footprint across Europe and diverse production routes, we ensure a reliable and flexible supply chain close to our customers. At the same time, our R&D capabilities enable continuous product development and close co-operation with partners. And, we are steadily expanding our low-CO2 steel portfolio across Europe, broadening the range of products available for our customers,” said Shahab Husain, Chief Marketing Officer, Bars and Rods at ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products.

Advancing decarbonisation with new Electric Arc Furnace in Gijón

A milestone in ArcelorMittal’s decarbonisation strategy is the construction of a new electric arc furnace at our Gijón site in Spain. The facility, an investment of €213 million, is expected to start production later this year.

The transition from blast furnace-based production to an electric arc furnace route using scrap and direct reduced iron will reduce CO₂ emissions by more than 35 percent in the initial phase. Once fully implemented, emissions savings could reach up to one million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent annually.

The new installation will enable the production of high-quality wire rod and rails for demanding applications such as tyre cord, cold heading and bright drawing, while maintaining high safety standards. It also supports the expansion of the XCarb® recycled and renewably produced product range, including future offerings for tyre cord steel, for example.

Demand for low-CO2 steel continues to grow across industries. In construction and energy, stricter regulatory requirements increasingly define acceptable CO₂ thresholds for new projects. Steel products such as rebars, wire rod mesh and prestressed concrete steel play a key role in enabling compliant and sustainable infrastructure, including wind energy installations.
