According to LIBERTY Steel, Huta Częstochowa already has rolled its first plates using slabs from LIBERTY Ostrava in the Czech Republic. 

“We are very pleased to start our industrial journey in Poland – a country with a long and proud industrial heritage – and restart production at Huta Częstochowa. I would like to welcome the plant’s 1,200 highly skilled and committed employees into the LIBERTY Steel family and provide them with some certainty after the difficult situation over the last year. We have a strong industrial plan for Huta Częstochowa and believe we can develop the business and make it economically, socially and environmentally sustainable for the long term,” said LIBERTY Steel executive chairman Sanjeev Gupta. 

LIBERTY Steel said Huta Częstochowa has the capacity to produce up to 700,000 metric tons of hot metal in its electric arc furnace and 1.2 million metric tons of heavy plate on its rolling mill. LIBERTY said it is actively seeking to acquire the facility.
