"All our tube mills in France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Italy will continue to work," said Adrian Alecu, head of marketing and sales of ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Europe in a statement.
Mr. Alecu went on to state, "Raw material reception, production and shipment will continue, albeit with the delays imposed by the shutdowns of public life in the individual countries." He added that ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Europe's highest priority is "to ensure the health and safety of our employees and partners" and that the division will undertake all necessary efforts to continue to serve its customers with a minimum impact.
