Mittal Negotiating with Chinese Steel Mill

Deal is second for Mittal in China.

Mittal Steel Co. confirms that it is involved in discussions with Baotou Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. about a possible participation in this company. Baotou is a mid-sized steel mill in China that is located near Mongolia.

 

If completed, it will be Mittal’s second purchase of a minority stake in a Chinese steelmaker. Earlier this year Mittal closed on a deal to acquire a 37 percent stake in Hunan Valin Steel Tube & Wire Co.
