Background

Based in the Mexican state of Veracruz, TYASA (Talleres y Aceros) is a Mexican company specializing in the production of wire rods and other long steel products. The company was founded in 1980, bringing its first rolling mill online in 1985 and launching steel-making operations in 1993 with the installation of a 45-ton electric arc furnace. In 2004 the TYASA plant increased its annual steel-making capacity to 450,000 tons. in 2014, it added another 1.2 million tons of capacity, becoming the first steel plant in the world to install Siemens' new Simetal EAF Quantum, a state-of-the-art electric arc furnace designed to cut CO₂ emissions by up to 30%.
