The THYSSENKRUPP plant in the United States will be sold for 1970 million dollars

Nikkei Japanese newspaper reported in its online publication, without link to sources that Thyssenkrupp will sell its steel plant in the United States to the ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal consortium, making a $ 197 million deal. In addition, information appeared that the acquisition of the plant by two buyers will lead to its split. The purchase value will be evenly distributed, and the details are declared in early December.

Last week, persons aware with the real state of affairs reported that the Germany’s ThyssenkrupP is conducting exclusive negotiations on the sale of the ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel plant, and the two largest steel manufacturers in the world. One of the sources clarified that at that time the bidders were ready, most likely, to pay 1.5 billion US dollars.

The representative of ThyssenkrupP Germany refused additional comments, referring only on a group of the group of November 19, which says that the company is negotiating the possible sale of a steel plant in the United States to Calvert, Alabama.

ArcelorMittal also does not give any new comments, except that the group is interested in acquiring the THYSSENKRUPP plant in the United States. And Nippon Steel was generally inaccessible to comment. There is only information that ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel have serious intentions to buy the ThyssenkrupP plant in the United States and its cost increased to 1970 million dollars.
