Mittal Steel USA enters export market

Mittal Steel USA has begun to export steel. The company said this is being done to take advantage of the strength of the global market and the resources of Arcelor Mittal Intl., the company's global trading arm.

Sales initially are targeted at 200,000 tons during the second quarter from several of the company's Eastern and Midwestern U.S. plants.

"Traditionally, Mittal Steel USA and its predecessor companies have not been active exporters," said Michael G. Rippey, president and CEO of Mittal Steel USA. "However, with the continuing strength in the global market, we plan to aggressively seek new opportunities that fit our capabilities."
