Cleveland-Cliffs' global presence is mainly through its supply chain and customer base, with its production facilities predominantly in the U.S. and Canada. Functions supported include mining, pelletizing, and the full spectrum of steel production from blast furnaces to finishing lines, serving automotive, construction, energy, and manufacturing sectors.
