In early December 2025, Algoma Steel announced significant layoffs, affecting nearly 1,000 workers, which represents a substantial portion of its workforce. The company attributed the job losses to the accelerated transition from traditional blast furnace operations to electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, a move exacerbated by challenging market conditions including persistent U.S. tariffs.

In response to significant US tariffs, Algoma Steel made a decisive strategic shift in 2025, accelerating its transition to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology.
