Fundiendo varas de acero

Process

We produce steel through a sustainable process that reduces the environmental impact from mineral extraction.​

01 Steel collection for recycling
Vehiculos transportando materiales

It all begins with the collection of disused ferrous material that we concentrate in our 21 Recycling Centers.

02 Recycling
Fabricando acero

We process, clean, and transport it to our steel mills.

We transform 98% of residues into sub-products that are used in other industries, such as:

Once it is melted, it passes to the Ladle Furnaces where we ensure the best quality of the steel.

05 Casting

We mold it in a bar shape (billet) and we cool it.

Billet

The billet is a bar-shaped semi-finished steel product, which is used as raw material for the rolling process through which long steel products are obtained, such as rebars, wire rods, bars & beams, among others.

06 Wire Rolling and Drawing

Our wire rods, rebars, and bars & beams originate from the billet.

Wire rod

Rebar, bars 6 beams, wire rods, and wire products are supplied to the 7 markets of the economy where we are present.
At the same time, the industrial wire rod is the raw material for the wire drawing process to produce wire.
