Ex Ilva: Federacciai con 14 associate presenta manifestazione d’interesse

An Italian consortium led by Federacciai and 14 associated businesses has submitted a request for interest in the former Ilva steel plants, located in Taranto, Genoa, Novi Ligure, and Racconigi. This move follows a meeting with the Minister of Enterprises, Adolfo Urso, on August 5th, and a council meeting of Federacciai on August 10th.

The consortium's submission allows them access to the company's data room, where they can review the ex Ilva's information. Federacciai president Antonio Gozzi stated, "We are in the field now. The next step is to verify the enabling conditions, which we will do with the Italian government in the coming days." The consortium's interest aligns with the ongoing process to bring the former Ilva steelworks back to the market after ArcelorMittal's management ended in February 2024.

This is the first time since the bidding process began that an organized group of Italian steelmakers has shown interest in the entire ex Ilva complex, excluding areas closed by a Milan Court of Appeal due to contamination.
