Global R&D Team granted prestigious Henry Ford Technology Award
With a commitment to stay at the forefront of the steel industry innovation, ArcelorMittal invests heavily in Research and Development (R&D) to offer a wide range of advanced steel solutions and value-added products to its customers. At the end of 2007, the product application engineers from ArcelorMittal R&D team received the Henry Ford Technology Award (HFTA), the automaker’s highest level of technical achievement.
