SAULT STE. MARIE, ON - (June 23) - In commemoration of the first anniversary as a member of the Essar Group, Algoma Steel Inc. announced today they have officially changed their company name to Essar Steel Algoma Inc.

Reflecting on the significance of the new identity, Essar Steel Algoma’s Chief Operating Officer Armando Plastino said: “The new image reflects our new reality as a division of Essar Steel Holdings Ltd. It opens doors for Algoma on the global stage to the benefit of our customers, our employees, our suppliers and indeed, the community in which we operate."
