  • Quel sera l’impact du nouveau géant européen et mondial de l’acier sur les ports belges?
    La sidérurgie européenne vit elle aussi à l’heure de la globalisation. La tendance est aux fusions, qui doivent permettre de parvenir à une meilleure utilisation des capacités de production et à de nouvelles grandeurs d’échelles, qui seront à leur tour génératrices d’économies, l’objectif étant de devenir plus concurrentiel sur un marché européen et mondial particulièrement difficile. Après l’annonce du projet de fusion entre ThyssenKrupp et Avesta Sheffield-Outokumpu, toujours en cours de négociation, ce sont maintenant d’autres sidérurgistes européens qui annoncent leur intention de fusionner. Il s’agit d’Usinor (dont dépend Cockerill-Sambre), d’Arbed (dont fait partie Sidmar) et du groupe espagnol Aceralia.
