JSW Accuses Cliffs, Nucor and U.S. Steel of Slab Boycott
Written by Sandy Williams
JSW Steel (USA) and JSW Ohio are accusing Nucor, U.S. Steel and Cleveland Cliffs of conspiring to boycott and deny critical semi-finished steel slab to the company.
A lawsuit filed on June 8 alleges that the three steel giants have formed a cartel that has cost JSW millions of dollars in lost profit. According to JSW Steel (USA) Board Member Parth Jindal, the three steel companies have repeatedly stated that they were able and willing to meet JSW’s needs for steel slab but failed to do so.
