Aperam in Ústí nad Labem - Czech Republic

Aperam is also a leading producer of alloys and high-value specialty products, with operations in France, China, India, and the United States.

It was spun out of ArcelorMittal at the start of 2011; the facilities that became Aperam had about 27% by turnover of the stainless-steel market as of 2009.[5]

The Brazilian facility uses charcoal from a series of eucalyptus forests owned and managed by the group[6] rather than coking coal to reduce the material; the European facilities use electric-arc furnaces fed with scrap. The use of charcoal reduces the CO2 footprint of the facility.[citation needed]

Corporate history

The Brazilian facilities of Aperam mostly correspond to Aperam South America (old Acesita), which was privatised by the Brazilian government in 1992 and purchased by Usinor in 1998.[citation needed]

Usinor merged with Arbed and Aceralia to become Arcelor in 2001,[7] and Aperam became a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcelorMittal in 2007[citation needed] in the hostile takeover of state-owned enterprise Arcelor by Lakshmi Mittal.[7]

As of June 2021, 40.83% of Aperam is owned by the Lakshmi Mittal family.[8]

Aperam completed the acquisition of Universal Stainless in January 2025.[9]

Aperam finalized the acquisition of British company Magnatec Group in April 2026.[10]
