Who We Are
Arcelor Mittal Dofasco has one of the most innovative, productive and empowered workforces in North America. The goal of our workforce has shifted from growth measured by capacity, to growth measured by value-added steelmaking. As a result, ArcelorMittal Dofasco has become one of the most profitable steel operations in North America based on earnings per ton.
Each one of our 5,000 skilled employees is part of a pro-active team, entrusted to suggest better ways of working, maximize the performance of new technologies, discover ways to improve quality, fine-tune or completely re-build systems, enhance customer support, and find ways to save money for both our customers and shareholders.
This corporate culture is known as the Dofasco Way, and it has been the driving force in employee relations since the company was founded in 1912.
ArcelorMittal Dofasco was the first Canadian company to introduce profit sharing to motivate the workforce and have employees benefit from the company's success. In addition, ArcelorMittal Dofasco also operates a 100-acre park in Stoney Creek, Ontario, with facilities for staff recreation, education and meetings.
Employee incentives and investments in people are giving ArcelorMittal Dofasco a significant edge in a more aggressive and hotly competitive steel industry. Our focus is firmly fixed on innovation and measurable performance.
Attrition is very low, and productivity has increased 50 per cent since 1990, which is about twice the rate of the Canadian manufacturing sector. Our employees feel they have a stake in the company and something to gain in preserving and expanding the Dofasco Way.
