10,430 full-time employees www.dofasco.arcelormit­tal.com ArcelorMit­tal Dofasco G.P. is a supplier of steel products to markets across North America. · Directs community support through a corporate Community Investment Fund and a longstandi­ng Employee Donations Fund (has raised >$40 million over its 70-year history). Employees also volunteer for community initiative­s through the “Team Orange” volunteer program.

It’s true what they say, Our Product is Steel. Our Strength is People. There’s a very family-like vibe at ArcelorMit­tal Dofasco. It’s something that you don’t really expect growing up, especially as a woman, that you’re going to work in the steel industry. But once you get here it’s different. There are so many opportunit­ies. There are a lot of things that you can do within the company that you don’t realize are even here. The thing that I love most about coming to work each day is that every day is different. I’m always faced with a new challenge or something new to accomplish. And the people; the people really make the job exciting, and they make it worth coming to work every day. Being here for the past eight years I’ve seen the opportunit­ies and the benefits that the company provides, so I’d really like to continue my career here, and hopefully be able to extend those benefits to my own family one day. I see a positive future for ArcelorMit­tal Dofasco. To me, sustainabi­lity means making sure that we’re able to maintain our status of excellence and making sure that we’re constantly evolving. It means constantly changing so that we can meet tomorrow’s demands and so that our future employees and their families can be sure they have a future here, and that there will be continued success for the company.

Dofasco has provided a lot to our family. I see first-hand the benefits of working here, and my father’s career here. It’s allowed us to have many opportunit­ies. It has put my sisters and I through school, it has put food on the table and it’s given us a lot of opportunit­ies through the Rec Park’s recreation­al activities. Some of my earliest memories are of the Dofasco Christmas party. Having that memory and having these opportunit­ies for our family has been awesome. Having my dad here, being able to follow in his footsteps and make him proud and work at the same company…it’s big for me.
