India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
Flacks Group, a US-based investment firm, has announced its readiness to bid for Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe if ongoing talks with Jindal Steel International falter. The announcement comes after a prolonged negotiation period, with no formal bid materializing yet. Flacks Group, led by CEO Michael Flacks, emphasized that while its primary interest lies in Italy, the firm is also exploring major steel acquisitions, including Thyssenkrupp’s steel division. A potential acquisition would mark another significant shift in the European steel industry, which continues to face challenges such as high energy costs, global overcapacity, and sluggish demand. If Thyssenkrupp’s talks with Jindal fail, Flacks Group stands ready to enter the bidding process, influencing the future of steel in Europe.
