Water crisis in Italy negatively affected steel coil pickling operations

The water shortage caused by the low water levels in Lecco Lake in northern Italy has adversely affected the coil pickling operations of the local steel mills. Due to this situation, it is known that ArcelorMittal CLN in Italy suspended the pickling operation of steel coils of 8 mm and above. Although the company has not made a statement yet, it is thought that the pickling operations in Arvedi will also be affected by this situation. It is predicted that the water shortage, which is expected to be experienced for a while, may cause the price of pickling materials to increase.
