Comprising 13 private companies, controlled by eight business groups and operating 27 mills in 10 states, the Brazilian steel industry produced an output of 26.5 Mt of crude steel in 2009, taking the Country to the position of 9th largest producer in the world.

The privatization of steel companies, finalized in 1993, brought a significant flow of capital into the sector, with diverse shareholders’ compositions. Thus, many steel companies came to be part of industrial and/or financial groups, with their interests in steelmaking unfolding into co-related activities, or logistics, aiming to improved economy of scale and competitiveness.

The production park is able to deliver all types of steel products, as long as their production is economically justifiable.
