ArcelorMittal automotive focussed investor event

Steel to remain the material of choice for the automotive sector

3 June 2015 - ArcelorMittal, the world's leading steel and mining company, is today hosting an investor event in London focussing on the company's global automotive steel franchise and research and development (R&D) capabilities. Presentations, from members of ArcelorMittal's automotive and R&D leadership teams, will explore the challenges and opportunities that exist in the global automotive sector, highlighting ArcelorMittal's successful strategy to address these through innovative solutions that ensure steel retains its position as the material of choice for the automotive sector. Specific areas covered will include: 

• The ongoing light-weighting focus of the automotive industry to meet increasingly challenging regulatory targets for fuel economy, and how ArcelorMittal's suite of automotive steel solutions meets these requirements more competitively than other materials;
• ArcelorMittal's technological leadership in the automotive sector, how through its global R&D efforts the company has developed the broadest automotive product offering in the world, the competitive advantage this brings and how it is helping the company to maintain and increase its share of this demanding market;
• How its global footprint uniquely positions ArcelorMittal to address the developing trend of carmakers demanding exactly the same products on a worldwide basis to support centrally designed global platforms;
• Automotive growth forecasts in the developed world, driven by recovery in the EU, and in emerging markets, driven by demand in countries including China, India and Mexico, and the opportunity this presents for ArcelorMittal's automotive franchise business.

The presentation materials from the event will be published on ArcelorMittal's website (http://corporate.arcelormittal.com/investors/presentations/2015) and can be downloaded from 2pm CET today. There will be no discussion on the company's current trading performance at the event.
