Ampco-Pittsburgh unit accelerates exit from U.K. operations

Ampco-Pittsburgh (AP) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Union Electric Steel Corporation, has exited its U.K. cast roll operations. This exit effectively eliminates the operating losses to be incurred by its U.K. subsidiary, Union Electric Steel UK Limited, starting in the fourth quarter 2025, rather than in the spring of 2026 as previously announced, and the significant cash plant closure costs associated with the previously anticipated wind-down operational plan. The company is also increasing the estimated cost savings resulting from the exit to result in approximately $7M-$8M increase in adjusted EBITDA on an annualized run-rate basis. The exit became effective October 14, 2025, when UES-UK was placed into administration through a voluntary insolvent wind-up. This action is confined to the UES-UK subsidiary exclusively and does not affect the company or any of its other subsidiaries.
