MEXICO CITY, July 2, 2025 - ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, reported a strong explosion at its facilities in the Pacific town of Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico. The incident occurred on Monday, August 18, 2025, with no injuries reported. The cause of the explosion is currently under investigation [1].Material damages are still being assessed, but the company has stated that operations have not been significantly impacted. ArcelorMittal's products are used in various sectors such as automotive, household appliances, packaging, and construction, underscoring the importance of maintaining production and safety standards [1].
In related news, ArcelorMittal's shares rose 1.18% in premarket trading on August 18, 2025.

The turbine, featuring impulse technology and back-pressure operation, is designed for high reliability and energy efficiency, marking WEG's first steam turbine project for the steel industry in Mexico [2].
