Mittal Steel USA is idling two of its blast furnaces indefinitely to bring production capabilities in line with reduced levels of demand for light flat-rolled products.

The company is idling one blast furnace each in its east and west regions - at Mittal Steel USA - Cleveland, and at Mittal Steel USA - Indiana Harbor in East Chicago, Ind.

"We are confident that we can maintain and service our customers' requirements working under this production configuration and are committed to maintaining our customers' business," said Michael G. Rippey, president and chief executive officer.
