HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) - Esmark Inc., a privately held steelmaker based near Chicago, has "expressed interest" to Mittal Steel Co. in buying its Sparrows Point mill near Baltimore, Esmark President Craig T. Bouchard said Wednesday.
Bouchard declined to discuss what his company might pay for the mill, which Mittal must sell to settle antitrust issues raised by its proposed $33 billion acquisition of Arcelor SA of Luxembourg.
"We have expressed interest to Mittal and believe there is a good strategic fit for Esmark," Bouchard wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
