ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products
Sidastico’s pro-active approach has created a unique collaboration between steel supplier and customer. Sandrine Jourdan, Market Development Manager for ArcelorMittal Europe’s Region South, explains: “Sidastico is one of the most open customers and a valuable resource for ArcelorMittal. It is very important for our business to have customers that are open to test products during the industrialisation process and share the results with us. Their feedback can enhance our offer and enable us to effectively meet evolving and demanding market expectations. This collaborative approach allows us to grow together and learn from one another.”

The collaboration has enabled ArcelorMittal to test new products in a real-life steel service centre, reducing the time to market while ensuring product quality. “Recently we joined forces to test the properties of Amstrong® Ultra 700MC in widths up to two metres and thicknesses up to 20 mm,” says Sandrine Jourdan. “Sidastico’s expertise at decoiling, levelling, and cutting has enabled us to deliver high quality sheets to the mechanical engineering market in Italy and Europe.”
The knowledge Sidastico gains by being one of the first to test ArcelorMittal’s new steels and grades means that the company is better able to answer the needs of its customers. And thanks to the close relationship with ArcelorMittal, they are also able to meet specific requests for steels with different technical requirements.
ArcelorMittal engineers, customer technical support (CTS), and Research and Development teams can also support Sidastico on customer visits if problems occur. “Technical exchanges and field support are critical,” says Davide Chilò. “This helps us to be transparent with our customers and suppliers.”
