Марчегалья обеспечивает финансирование проекта Фос-сюр-Мер в размере 800 миллионов евро

Marcegaglia Steel, итальянский промышленный холдинг группы, возглавляемой Антонио и Эммой Марчегалья, подписала два кредита, связанных с устойчивым развитием, на общую сумму 800 миллионов евро для поддержки своего сталелитейного проекта в Фос-сюр-Мер, Франция. The financing supports what the group describes as its largest-ever industrial investment, worth more than €1 billion.

The two facilities have an 11-year tenor, will be disbursed over the next three years and are 80 percent guaranteed by SACE (Italy's export credit agency) and Bpifrance Assurance Export. The financing includes an incentive mechanism linked to the achievement of specific group ESG targets.

The Fos-sur-Mer project envisages the production of 2 million mt of electric furnace steel and over 3 million mt of hot rolled coils in carbon and stainless steel. За счет интеграции добывающей промышленности группа стремится покрыть 35-40 процентов своих потребностей в слябах и рулонах, повышая надежность поставок. "We will be able to produce what will be more difficult to find on the market," Antonio Marcegaglia said during his speech at the European Steel Forum held in Udine in late October. He added that the group expects to produce its first slab by the first quarter of 2029 and its first coil by the third or fourth quarter of the same year.

The project will use scrap, low-carbon direct reduced iron and nuclear energy. According to Marcegaglia, this combination will enable greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced by up to 80 percent compared with traditional production methods.

The banking syndicate includes Intesa Sanpaolo, through its IMI CIB division, BNP Paribas CIB, Crédit Agricole CIB and UniCredit, which hold the main coordination and structuring roles in the transaction. Santander CIB выступает в качестве дополнительного уполномоченного ведущего организатора, а BPER Corporate & Investment Banking, Banco BPM и ING Bank выступают в качестве организаторов. Агентами также выступают Intesa Sanpaolo и Crédit Agricole CIB.
