The demand for stators and rotors, essential components of electric motors and generators, is experiencing a surge, particularly from global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive industry, driven by the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. There is also a growing need for advanced motor cores across various industries due to the rapid advancement in renewable energy and automation. In response to this demand, Eurogroup Laminations has entered into a partnership with ArcelorMittal to provide innovative motor core solutions, combining Eurogroup’s expertise in motor core design with ArcelorMittal’s production capacity in non-oriented electrical steels (NOES). According to Marco Barabino, Key Account Manager Electrical Steel at ArcelorMittal Europe, the partnership is crucial for meeting EU deadlines for transitioning away from conventional internal combustion vehicles by 2035. This collaboration will enable a significant increase in electrical steel production, with plans for a new facility in Mardyck, France, aimed at tripling annual capacity to 300,000 tonnes. As the world shifts towards an energy transition, Eurogroup’s CEO Marco Arduini emphasizes the importance of expanding production capabilities while focusing on tailored investments across global operations. ArcelorMittal’s iCARe range of electrical steels has been specifically designed for the automotive market, offering solutions that meet the performance and efficiency demands of modern EVs. The partnership aims to deliver customized motor core solutions to meet the diverse needs of customers in the automotive sector and beyond
