ArcelorMittal to close another US plant

The world’s largest steel producer, ArcelorMittal, will be closing its Hennepin, Illinois steel plant. 

In response to economic conditions, ArcelorMittal said it will shut down the north-central Illinois steel plant as it duplicates work done at other plants. 

The company has not discussed a shut down date yet, however when the facility does close, 285 employees will be out of work.
