The Polish government initiated talks on a public support package for ArcelorMittal Poland’s plant in Dąbrowa Górnicza, with a proposed PLN1 billion allocation for modernization.

The funding would support upgrades at the southern Polish facility, one of six operated by ArcelorMittal in the country. The plant is notable for producing 120-meter-long rails, which are expected to be in high demand due to significant upcoming railway investments in Poland.

The discussions are underway with the Ministry of Finance, aiming to upgrade one of the blast furnaces, maintain steel production, and ensure the continued operation of the plant in Dąbrowa Górnicza.
