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]
