ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada is closing its wire drawing mill in Hamilton.
The move will affect 153 employees.
The company says all work will now be done at its Montreal location.
Company chief executive Stéphane Brochu says the change is necessary to sustain its wire drawing business and will allow it to improve efficiency and secure its long-term competitiveness.
ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada has more than 2,000 employees with operations at multiple sites in Quebec.
The company produces more than two million tonnes of steel that is used in such things as rebar for the construction industry and for leaf springs in light and heavy-duty trucks.
