Algoma Steel produces hot and cold-rolled steel sheets and plates for industries like automotive and construction, focusing on transitioning to EAF steelmaking to produce environmentally friendly, low-carbon 'green steel.'
Algoma Steel announced on December 1, 2025, that it would be laying off approximately 1,000 employees, effective March 23, 2026. The company attributed this decision to the accelerated shutdown of its blast furnace and coke-making operations, a move expedited by what it described as 'unprecedented US tariffs' that have fundamentally altered its competitive position.
In response to significant market pressures, primarily U.S. steel tariffs, Algoma Steel announced a significant acceleration of its transition to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking. This strategic pivot includes the permanent shutdown of its traditional blast furnace and coke-making operations and resulted in the layoff of approximately 1,000 employees. This move is intended to fundamentally lower the company's cost structure and carbon footprint, positioning it as a producer of 'green steel'.
