History


International Steel Group was created in 2002, after the turn-around investment fund WL Ross & Co. LLC, purchased the LTV Steel (Ling-Temco-Vought) and Acme Steel corporations.[1]


It acquired what was left of the remaining assets of the dissolved Bethlehem Steel, formerly America's second-largest steel producer. Bethlehem Steel did not merge with/into International Steel Group.


It was acquired by Mittal Steel in 2005, which merged with Arcelor to become ArcelorMittal in 2006.


The Luxembourg based ArcelorMittal is integrated steel and mining multinational corporation, and is the world's largest steel producer as of 2014[update].[2][3]
