[Ferro-Alloys.com]  Brazilian flat steel producer Usiminas has decided to shut down two blast furnaces at its Ipatinga unit and halt its Cubatão steelmaking facility in order to adjust its production to lower demand resulting from the outbreak of Covid-19, the company said on Thursday April 2.

 

The company will shut down the No2 blast furnace on April 4, and also its No1 blast furnace on April 22, both located at its integrated steelmaking facility in Ipatinga city, in the country’s southeastern Minas Gerais state. （Metalbulletin）
