Gruppo Lucchini
Gruppo Lucchini was the third largest Italian steel group after Gruppo Riva and Techint, with a 2005 production of 3.5 million tonnes. It is specialized in high quality long and special carbon steel products. In 2005 the Russian steel and mining company Severstal became the majority shareholder (approx 60%) of Lucchini, the remainder being owned by Lucchini Family (30%) and other minor shareholders. In 2007, Lucchini family bought back Lucchini RS, the part of Lucchini Group active in the railway rolling stock business. The two companies are therefore totally independent. In 2010, Severstal acquired all the shares of Lucchini Group from Lucchini family and became the only shareholder of the company. History The Group's founder and former Honorary President Luigi Lucchini expanded and developed his father's business of crafting iron at Casto, Italy by building a small rolling mill to produce rebar during the period after World War II. Over the years, the craftsmanship was repla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Steel Producers
This is a list of the largest steel-producing companies in the world mostly based on the list by the World Steel Association. This list ranks steelmakers by volume of steel production in millions of tonnes and includes all steelmakers with production over 10 million in 2021. The World Steel Association compiles a list from its members every year. Note that due to mergers, year-to-year figures for some producers are not comparable. Also note that not all steel is the same; some steel is more valuable than other steel, so volume is not the same as turnover. Top producers by volume Other top steel producers by volume * Acerinox, Spain * Aisha Steel Mills, Pakistan * Aichi Steel Corporation, Japan * Allegheny Technologies, United States * Altos Hornos de México, Mexico * Angang Steel Company Limited, China * Anyang Steel, China * Aperam, Luxembourg * Arrium, Australia * BlueScope, Australia * British Steel Ltd, United Kingdom * BSRM, Bangladesh * Byelorussian Steel Works, Bel ...
