Mexican Steel: A New Chapter in Industrial Growth

In recent weeks, our dedicated team in China has been working tirelessly, ensuring the successful loading of the first shipment for a groundbreaking new project. The team meticulously orchestrated the loading of materials from multiple origins, utilizing the strategic ports of Changshu and Bayuquan. Employing a combination of barges and trucks, they executed the logistics with precision, ensuring that each cargo was safely positioned and securely prepared for its journey to Mexico.

Upon arrival in Mexico, these vital cargoes will be directed to a state-of-the-art steel mill, which is a cornerstone of a monumental US $3.2 billion investment. This facility is not just a manufacturing site; it represents a commitment to leveraging the latest technologies in steel production while adhering to stringent decarbonization commitments. The steel mill is poised to become the most modern facility on the continent, setting new benchmarks for operational excellence and sustainability. The establishment of this mill is anticipated to have a substantial economic impact, generating over 1,800 direct and indirect jobs in the region. As we look ahead, the steel mill is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2026, ushering in a new era of industrial growth and innovation. This project exemplifies our dedication to fostering economic development while embracing environmentally responsible practices.
