“Bruno Ribo, currently the chief technical officer of ArcelorMittal Galati, will take over most of the responsibilities, until the appointment of a new CEO,” said the plant’s spokesman, Dorian Dumitrescu.

Remisz had been appointed to the position in October 2011, replacing Thierry Le Gall, who had run the company since 2009.

The ArcelorMittal group holds in Romania two steel processing plants, two pipe plants, harbor operator Romportmet Galati and ArcelorMittal Construction Romania.
