ArcelorMittal has decided to permanently stop production at the plant in Hunedoara due to high energy prices and cheap imports.

The decision to stop production at the factory in Hunedoara was made due to difficult economic conditions, including high energy prices and competition from cheap imports. The company tried to reduce losses through temporary shutdowns and technical unemployment, but the challenges were insurmountable. ArcelorMittal is committed to supporting employees through redeployment and collaboration with local authorities. Production was halted on September 5, 2025.
