JSW strike cuts ArcelorMittal’s Polish coal buys

摘要

ArcelorMittal’s two cokeries in Poland will purchase 300,000 mt less coking coal than planned this year. This is mainly due to a production strike at the country’s largest coking coal producer, Jastrzebska Wegiel Spolka (JSW), earlier this year, according to ArcelorMittal Poland board member, Czeslaw Sikorski. “300,000 mt — that’s how much less coal we’re buying on the local market this year compared to what we originally expected,” Sikorski, director of coke production and special projects, told the state news agency PAP.
