Background

Located in central Mexico about 100km northeast of Mexico City, the Ciudad Sahagún plant is the largest of three electric steel plants owned by Gerdau Corsa.

The Ciudad Sahagún plant, which has the capacity to generate 1 million tons of crude steel and 700,000 tons of finished steel annually, began operating commercially in 2015. The plant produces rebar and steel profiles for construction and industrial uses.

The plant is owned by Gerdau Corsa, a Mexican subsidiary of Brazilian steel-maker Gerdau, formed in 2008 when Gerdau S.A. purchased a 49% stake in the Mexican holding company Corsa Controladora, S.A. de C.V. Gerdau Corsa's two other Mexican steel mills are the 500,000-ton-per-annum Tultitlán plant and the 150,000-tpa La Presa plant.
