Russia’s Silverstal Favoured to Buy Rouge Industries

Rouge Industries, another bankrupt US steel maker currently under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since October 23rd, is set to be bought by Russia’s Silverstal in a deal expected to close in the first quarter of 2004, pending regulatory approvals.

Silverstal, one of Russia’s top three steel makers, will pay $215 million for Rouge Industries, which was formerly an in-house Ford operation.

Currently Silverstal has been awarded lead bidder status by the US Bankruptcy court. Any counter bids are due in by December 18, with US Steel known to be interested.
