ArcelorMittal Belgium has completed the information and consultation phase linked to its proposed closure of tailored blanks operations in Ghent, moving the process to its final stage: a decision by the company’s board of directors.
The specialised unit—serving automotive applications—has faced sustained financial pressure amid weaker European auto production, with the company pointing to persistent losses as a key factor behind the planned shutdown.
During consultations, employee questions, suggestions, and counterproposals were reviewed with social partners. In parallel, a social plan was developed that includes a full employment guarantee within ArcelorMittal Belgium for employees who want to stay with the company, while maintaining remuneration elements. It also offers a voluntary departure option with financial compensation for those choosing to exit.ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks Ghent currently employs 90 people, and the social plan was approved by 71.11% of impacted employees on February 20, 2026.
