ArcelorMittal Dofasco Information

Company History

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada has been the home of ArcelorMittal Dofasco since 1912, when C.W. Sherman founded the Dominion Steel Casting Company to maufacture castings for Canadian railways. Later named Dominion Foundries and Steel, the company merged with its subsidary, Hamilton Steel Wheel Company in 1917. The name was officially changed to Dofasco Inc. in 1980.

In 2006, Dofasco was purchased by Europe-based steelmaker Arcelor. During this transition, Arcelor merged with Mittal Steel to become ArcelorMittal. Today ArcelorMittal is the world's largest steelmaker accounting for nearly 10% of global steel production. (1)
