Company Overview

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. is a leading North American producer of iron ore pellets and flat-rolled steel products. Tracing its roots to 1847, the company has evolved from an iron-ore mining concern in the Great Lakes region into a fully integrated steelmaker. Today, Cleveland-Cliffs operates iron ore mining complexes in Michigan and Minnesota as well as steelmaking and finishing facilities across the United States.

The company’s integrated platform begins with direct control of key raw materials, including iron ore and scrap, and extends through every stage of steel production. Cleveland-Cliffs’ mining operations supply high-grade iron ore pellets to its steel mills, while its melt shops, hot-rolling and cold-rolling lines, and coating facilities produce a broad range of steel grades and surface finishes.

Cleveland-Cliffs serves a diverse array of end markets, with major customers in the automotive, infrastructure, appliance and manufacturing sectors. Its product portfolio includes hot-rolled, cold-rolled and coated steels, as well as electrical steel and value-added advanced high-strength steels designed to meet stringent performance and weight-reduction requirements.

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, the company is led by a management team with decades of experience in mining, steelmaking and downstream processing. Over the past several years, strategic acquisitions and capacity investments have strengthened Cleveland-Cliffs’ position as the largest flat-rolled steel producer in North America and enhanced its ability to offer fully integrated steel solutions from mine to customer.
