Florange (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Lorraine Franconian: Fléischengen/Fléschéngen; Template:Langx) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

History

Between 1870 and 1918, the German state occupied Florange, which was then known as Flörchingen. The blacksmith's art and then steelmaking have been a constant in the city ever since the De Wendel family installed itself and Jean-Martin Wendel (1665-1737), who founded the industrial fortune of the family.[2][3]

French president François Hollande and his associate Arnaud Montebourg in 2012 threatened to nationalize the steelmaking plant of ArcelorMittal,[4] but backed down when they industrialists offered to revisit their plans to lay off more than 600 workers at two blast furnaces there and agreed to invest €180 million over five years in steel finishing.[5]

Economy

Florange is the site of one of ArcelorMittal's steelmaking plants,[6] and in September 2021 the company announced the investment of 89 million euros for a new galvanized steel production line.[7] For a time in 2012, Florange was the supplier for PSA Peugeot Citroen's Sochaux and Mulhouse vehicle assembly plants and all of the supply for the German assembly plants of Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMW and Opel. Reportedly Mercedes has an entire production line of galvanized steel devoted to its exclusive use.[8]

Safran has a nacelle fabrication shop.[9]
