ArcelorMittal Asturias (Gijón) steel plant, also known as ArcelorMittal Gijón and ArcelorMittal Espana Gijon, is a 1200 thousand tonnes per annum (TTPA) blast furnace (BF) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel plant operating in Gijon, Asturias, Spain.
Location
The map below shows the location of the steel plant in Gijon, Asturias, Spain.
- Location: ArcelorMittal Asturias (Gijón), Veriña de Abajo 570, 33200 Gijon (Asturias), Spain[1]
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 43.525092, -5.731926 (exact)
Background
ArcelorMittal Asturias consists of two steel plants, ArcelorMittal Asturias (Gijón) and ArcelorMittal Asturias (Avilés), in Asturias, Spain.[2] In December 2020, ArcelorMittal Asturias halted production for six days due to a worker's strike. Production resumed operations following the strike.[3]
A direct-reduced iron (DRI) expansion is planned for 2025.[4]
