AK Steel will change its name, possibly to match owner Cleveland-Cliffs, according to Neil Douglas, president of IAM Local 1943.
He said Cleveland-Cliffs, which purchased AK Steel for $1.1 billion in 2020, sent out an internal email Friday announcing the name change.
Also last year, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. bought the U.S. assets of ArcelorMittal for $1.4 billion. The deal made Cleveland-Cliffs the largest flat-rolled steel producer in North America, officials said.
Douglas said the name change makes sense since Cleveland-Cliffs has acquired so many companies. He doesnt believe the name change will impact operations at the Middletown Works.

Then AK bought it from Severstal and now it is CC. I know the guys didn't like working for AK. We changed hands so many times it is hard to keep them straight.
