ArcelorMittal Considers Closing Two French Sites Amid Economic Challenges

The potential closures in Reims and Denain could impact 130 jobs due to declining demand from the automotive and industrial sectors.

ArcelorMittal announced the possible closure of its service sites in Reims and Denain, citing a difficult economic environment.
The closures could lead to the loss of approximately 130 jobs, with 100 positions affected in Reims and 30 in Denain.
The company attributes the decision to a significant drop in activity from its industrial and automotive clients.
Negotiations with unions are planned to discuss social measures to mitigate the impact on employment.
Workers at the Denain site have already initiated a strike, with further actions expected at other locations.
