Three consortia present binding ILVA bid (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, June 30 - Three consortia presented binding bids for troubled steelmaker ILVA by the Thursday noon deadline, sources said. There is a third, as-yet-unnamed competitor vying with the two groups who have already bid: the newco AcciaiItalia, an Arvedi-CDP-Del Vecchio alliance; and the ArcelorMittal-Marcegaglia joint venture. Extraordinary commissioners are managing ILVA as the firm goes through a massive environmental cleanup and financial turnaround.
