FNI abandons $50-M Bataan steel project
The Philippine Star|December 28, 2024
Global Ferronickel Holdings Inc. (FNI) will no longer pursue its plan to put up a $50-million rebar steel project in Bataan as it opts to focus on its existing business interests such as mining and port operations that would bring long-term value for the firm.
By JASPER EMMANUEL ARCALAS

FNI said its board of directors was informed by the management of FNI Steel Corp., its wholly owned subsidiary, that the planned FNI Rebar Steel project will no longer push through.

The firm, one of the biggest players in the country's nickel industry, said the decision was based on a "comprehensive" review of market conditions, capital requirements and the outlook for the rebar steel industry.
