CONTRECOEUR, QC, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada (AMLPC) announces a restructuring of its wire drawing activities that aims to strengthen its competitiveness and ensure better long-term profitability for its wire drawing activities, primarily intended for the telecommunications, construction, and automotive markets.
The wire drawing activities, which were operated from AMLPC's sites in Hamilton, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec, will now be entirely concentrated at the Montreal site. This decision will allow AMLPC to achieve a level of performance in line with the objectives and standards expected in the highly competitive long products steel markets.
This decision leads to the permanent shutdown of production at the Hamilton wire drawing mill in the coming weeks. AMLPC intends to fully assume its responsibility as an employer and is committed to pursue open dialogue with employee representatives to support and assist all 153 employees affected by this closure.
"It is never an easy decision to close a site. First and foremost, all our efforts are focused on supporting the employees affected by this closure.
The restructuring we are announcing today was necessary to ensure the sustainability of our wire drawing activities. It will allow us to improve our operational efficiency and secure our long-term competitiveness in the demanding wire drawing market."
- Stephane Brochu, President and CEO, AMLPC
