Developing and distributing
a wider range of steels
Marcegaglia, an Italian steel processing
corporation with an output of 5mn
tonnes per year and production plants
on three continents, has completed
a major internal restructuring and
reorganisation of its steel operations,
aiming for strengthening and ‘industry-
leading growth’.
Chairman and CEO Antonio Marcegaglia
commented, “With the aim of greater
transparency and clarity, we have
completed the split-off of our non-core
equity holdings (tourism, white goods
components, building) from our core
business, steel processing, which we
aim to focus on and strengthen.”
In more than 50 years in business,
Marcegaglia has created a production
mix strictly linked to the structure and
organisation of the entire group, ranging
from the processing of carbon and
stainless steel tubes and flat products, to
products for the building and construction
industry (with the production of insulated
panels and crash barriers, for example),
and in electromechanical components,
composites, energy and DIY sectors.
The reorganisation has led to a regroup-
ing of Marcegaglia’s three main
businesses – Carbon Steel (tubes and
flat products), Specialties (stainless and
drawn steels) and Plates (heavy plate
manufacture) – into separate companies
owned by holding corporation
Marcegaglia Steel.
