ArcelorMittal Dofasco is Canada’s leading flat steel producer and a hallmark of advanced manufacturing in North America.
With approximately 5,000 employees in Hamilton we are the city's largest private sector employer shipping 4.5 million net tons of high quality steel every year.
This flagship facility is leading the way in ushering in a new era of sustainability for our North America region.
ArcelorMittal and the government of Canada recently announced a CAD$1.765 billion investment in decarbonization technologies at ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s plant in Hamilton.
The intended investments will reduce annual CO2 emissions at ArcelorMittal’s Hamilton, Ontario operations by approximately 60%, within the next seven years. This means the Hamilton plant will transition away from the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace steelmaking production route to the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) – Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) production route, which carries a significantly lower carbon footprint.
ArcelorMittal will introduce new manufacturing processes that contribute to a considerable reduction of CO2 emissions and deliver other positive environmental impacts including the elimination of emissions and flaring from coke making and ironmaking operations.
