The Extraordinary Commissioners of the Italian steel producer Acciaierie d'Italia, based in Taranto (formerly Ilva), announced that as of September 26, 10 applications for the acquisition of former Ilva facilities had been received.
As SteelOrbis previously reported, the deadline for submitting binding bids was postponed from September 15 to September 26 to "allow bidders to complete the necessary documentation" and ensure transparency and equal treatment.
Among the applications received, two relate to the entire complex (Bedrock Industries and a consortium from Flacks Group and Steel Business Europe) and eight relate to individual assets (Renexia (Toto Group), Cardinal Metals Industry (IMC), Marcegaglia, Marcegaglia and Sideralba consortium, CAR Srl, Marcegaglia consortium, Profilmec and Eusider, Eusider and Trans Isole). In addition, another offer was received "from a political organization that does not meet the criteria of the tender". Any offers submitted after September 26th will be considered only if they are particularly profitable.
The Acciaierie d'Italia agency informs that the special members of the commission will need the necessary time to review all applications received, "with particular attention to the aspects of employment, decarbonization and the amount of investment in order to ensure the sustainable development of enterprises and the maximum protection of the workers involved."
