About Cleveland-Cliffs
Cleveland-Cliffs is the largest flat-rolled steel producer in North America. Founded in 1847 as a mine operator, Cliffs is also the largest manufacturer of iron ore pellets in North America. The Company is vertically integrated from mined raw materials, direct reduced iron, and ferrous scrap to primary steelmaking and downstream finishing, stamping, tooling, and tubing. As a team of more than 27,000 people, we proudly serve a diverse range of markets and are the largest steel supplier to the automotive industry in North America.
Built on a strong legacy of safety and environmental stewardship, we operate responsibly and are committed to a sustainable future. With ongoing initiatives to reduce waste, improve water conservation, and reduce carbon emissions we promise to become North America’s leader in steelmaking and mining sustainability.
Founded in 1847 as a mine operator, Cleveland-Cliffs has been traditionally recognized as the largest and oldest independent iron ore mining company in the U.S. In 2020, we acquired two major steelmakers, AK Steel and ArcelorMittal USA. This allowed us to vertically integrate our legacy iron ore business with quality-focused steel production. Cleveland-Cliffs now has the unique advantage of being self-sufficient with production of the raw materials for our steelmaking operations.
Our employees are one of our most important assets. It’s our continual focus to provide a safe work environment and quality jobs for each one of them. With more than 70% of our workforce represented by labor unions, we prioritize consistent, two-way communication with our employees and union partners, strong compensation, and solid benefits that support our employees’ successful careers.
With operating facilities across the United States and Canada, there are many places a career with Cleveland-Cliffs can take you. You will have a variety of opportunities to grow within the business and the freedom to pursue your passions. Many Cleveland-Cliffs operations have developed formal apprenticeship and craft training programs in partnership with local unions and technical schools — in 2020, we had nearly 250 of them across our operations. These advanced training programs provide unique opportunities for our employees to increase their skills and gain experience through on-the-job training, so you’ll have the support you need to pursue whichever path you choose in business.
We continually make innovative advancements in our manufacturing processes, in the products we make, and the careers we’re able to provide. With ongoing initiatives to minimize impacts on the environment, we are positioned to become North America’s leader in steelmaking and mining sustainability. We look forward to generating opportunities for future generations.
