ArcelorMittal expands collaboration with Cassotis

Cassotis reached a new significant milestone in its journey by launching another mathematical optimization project in partnership with ArcelorMittal, now at the Tubarão unit—one of the largest steel plants in Brazil. This plant is specialized in the production of steel plates and coils and is recognized for its operational efficiency, innovation, and commitment to sustainability.

This major project showcases Cassotis’s expertise in executing raw material optimization initiatives for steel industry clients, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing client decision-making through customized solutions based on optimization models and algorithms.

Through the implementation of high-impact, results-oriented tailored solutions, Cassotis reaffirms its ability to generate strategic value for its partners.

According to Cassotis Managing Partner Fábio Silva, the partnership with ArcelorMittal Tubarão “Being chosen to execute this project is the result of a thorough evaluation based on a deep understanding of the steel market, mutual trust built over time, and an analysis of the potential for solid and lasting results. This achievement reflects not only our technical capability but also our dedication to delivering solutions aligned with client and market needs,” highlights Fábio.

For this project, the consulting scope will consist of delivering an integrated raw material optimization model based on the client’s steel process modeling. The solution in development will provide a high-performance environment that is efficient in all analyses and decision-making. Among the challenges addressed by Cassotis during the project’s structuring are the optimization of raw material blends in the reduction and steelmaking areas, as well as the plant’s energy balance.

Focused on results, Cassotis is confident in the project’s success, the realization of the gains predicted in the preliminary analyses, and its contribution to improving the results of ArcelorMittal Tubarão. In doing so, it reinforces its role as a strategic partner in the industry's pursuit of innovation and excellence.
