Founded in 1959 in Gazoldo degli Ippoliti, a small village near Mantua where it still has its headquarters, Marcegaglia is the leading Italian industrial Group in the entire steel value chain.
The acquisition of Fos-sur-Mer steel plant is part of the Group’s global strategy, with the aim of integrating the entire value chain into its production. In addition, the Grand Port in Marseille is strategically located in terms of raw materials and logistics.
The significant industrial transformation project and the innovative technologies used will make the Fos-sur-Mer site one of the Group’s most relevant assets.
This investment is part of the broader strategy of development and decarbonization of the Group’s activities: steel produced from scrap and from “Green DRI” will, in fact, be able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent compared to production from full cycle.
