As part of the Journée Découverte Entreprises (JDE), ArcelorMittal Belgium invites the public to visit its industrial site in Flémalle on Sunday, October 4th. This initiative provides a unique opportunity to explore the steel sector, an industry in constant evolution where innovation, digital technologies, and human expertise combine to produce the steel for our daily lives.
A major player in Wallonia's steel industry, ArcelorMittal Belgium processes steel at its Flémalle facility using state-of-the-art installations. The company combines historical know-how with innovative technologies, focusing on research, digitalization, and continuous improvement of its processes to develop higher-performing and more sustainable steels. Employing several hundred people in the Liège region, it plays a significant role in industrial employment and technical training.
Innovation is a key driver for ArcelorMittal Belgium, which benefits from the support of the Walloon Region through aid granted to its research center, now integrated into the CRM Group at Sart-Tilman. Since 1991, this structure has received regional funding to develop research and innovation projects in metallurgy.
On October 4th, visitors can tour the Flémalle facilities, including Galva 5, to understand how steel is transformed for increased strength and durability. This immersion will allow them to discover the professions within this constantly evolving industry, where technological innovation, research, and industrial expertise go hand in hand.
