By the deadline of midnight on Friday, January 10, ten offers have been received for the acquisition of the former Ilva plants. This was announced by the extraordinary commissioners of Acciaierie d’Italia in extraordinary administration. The deadline, which had been extended from December 2024, allowed for broader participation in the offer submission process.
Among the offers received, three are for the entire corporate complexes: from the consortium of Baku Steel Company CJSC and Azerbaijan Investment Company OJSC, from Bedrock Industries Management Co Inc, and from Jindal Steel International.
Seven offers are focused on individual assets: from the consortium of CAR Segnaletica Stradale Srl, Monge & C. SpA, and Trans Isole Srl, Eusider SpA, the consortium of Eusider SpA, Marcegaglia Steel SpA, and Profilmec SpA, I.M.C. SpA, Marcegaglia Steel SpA, and the consortium of Marcegaglia Steel SpA and Sideralba SpA, and Vitali SpA.
Although the deadline is not final, any offers received after this time will only be considered if they present particularly advantageous conditions for the continuation of the process. The extraordinary commissioners will have the necessary time to carefully examine all received proposals, focusing particularly on employment aspects, decarbonization, and the level of investments, with the goal of ensuring the sustainable development of the plants and full protection for the workers involved.
