This investment increases the company's total annual production capacity to 1.6 million tons and expands its business coverage in highly specialized industrial sectors.
The new plant has a designed annual capacity of 400,000 tons, targeting industries such as automotive, metalworking, petroleum, energy, and tool manufacturing. The first phase will produce round bars ranging from half an inch to four inches in diameter, as well as hot-rolled flat steel with widths of 2 to 4 inches and thicknesses from 5/16 inch to 1 inch.
This project is part of TYASA's overall SBQ (Special Bar Quality) special steel strategy. In the coming months, the company will advance new development phases, including the commissioning of inspection and finishing lines, cold working processes, and heat treatment systems, with these facilities expected to begin operations from the third quarter of 2026.
Through this capacity expansion, TYASA strengthens its product offerings for high-tech specifications, premium quality standards, and specialized material industrial applications. Currently, downstream industries such as advanced manufacturing, the automotive sector, and energy generation are experiencing growing demand for specialized steel solutions.
The commissioning of the first phase of special steel marks a new stage in the company's expansion of its product portfolio into higher value-added areas. TYASA stated that this move solidifies its position as Mexico's only steel producer covering the full range of commercial long products, flat products, and special steel for high-performance industrial applications. This expansion also enhances the production capacity of the Veracruz steel complex, one of the company's main facilities serving multiple domestic and international industrial markets.
