The world’s second largest steel producer Arcelor has opened a representative office in Ukraine. The company plans to sell the full range of its products in Ukraine. However, the company has not said in what size volumes it intends to sell. Previously, Arcelor made all deals with Ukrainian consumers via its Moscow office. Concorde Capital: The arrival of Arcelor in Ukraine will likely increase competition among domestic steel traders, but will not meaningfully affect Ukrainian steel producers, as they export most of their products. In addition, Arcelor will likely target the high quality steel segment and will not be in a direct competition with local players.
