Ternium Puebla steel plant (Planta Largos Ternium Puebla (Spanish)), also known as Hylsamex Puebla (predecessor), is a direct reduced iron-electric arc furnace (DRI-EAF) steel plant operating in San Miguel Xoxtla, Puebla, Mexico.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in San Miguel Xoxtla, Puebla, Mexico:
- Location: Km 108 Mexico, Puebla Highway San Miguel Xoxtla (72620) Puebla, Mexico
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 19.169532, -98.318659 (exact)
Background
The Puebla steel plant was founded in 1969 by Mexican company Hylsa (Hojalata y Lámina S.A.).[1]
In the late 1950s, Hylsa, which had begun making steel at its San Nicolás de los Garza steel plant near Monterrey in the 1940s, pioneered a new gas-based method for creating direct reduced iron (DRI).[2] The company's groundbreaking DRI technology, known as the HyL process, was soon patented, and the Puebla plant became one of the first in the world to use it commercially.[3]
In 1974, Hylsa became the core member of the newly founded Alfa industrial group.[4] In 2005 the company was sold to the Italian-Argentine conglomerate Techint and incorporated into Techint's new Ternium division.[5]
Today the Ternium Puebla plant specializes in production of long steel products including rebar, wire rod and round bar for the construction, industrial and automotive sectors.[6][7] Recent developments at the plant include the September 2019 installation of a new bag filter system to capture fumes and dust in the electric arc furnace.[6][8]
