    Written by Sandy Williams


    ArcelorMittal may temporarily idle some of its operations at Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico’s largest steel producer and slab exporter, according to reports by El Diario and BN Americas.

    “ArcelorMittal Lázaro Cárdenas is considering a temporary idling of certain steel producing operations,” a company spokesman told BN Americas in an emailed statement. “However, we are still in discussions with various stakeholders and no official decision has been made. Any idling decision will not impact our ability to meet customer demand.”
