Steel exports have also risen sharply increasing tonnage figures from 407,300 tonnes in the first half of 2010 to 426,400 tonnes in 2011. The company’s negative results and their explanations are primarily in relation to raw material costs. It is in this context that, for the first six months of the year, net company profits (Ebitda) will close with a loss of 5.3 million euros, an increase of 86% compared to 2010’s 2.8 million. The company can however, already be pleased at the first positive results of the strategic plan agreed in the first quarter. Indeed, while Ebitda was almost 5 million euros in debt from January to March, it was only about -0.3 million euros in the second quarter. In the Greater region, the situation is far from being any better: there are growing concerns in Florange, near Metz, after the publication of Luxembourg’s results. Moreover, it was decided to stop production by 2012 at the Belgian Fontaine l'Eveque site which employs about 60 workers, due to a drop in the construction market.
