With a workforce exceeding 16,800 employees and an annual production capacity of approximately 10.9 million tons of finished steel products and 4.0 million tons of iron ore pellets, Ternium is a significant player in the steel industry.
Ternium's operations are divided into two primary segments: Steel and Mining. The Steel segment includes the production of slabs, billets, round bars, hot-rolled coils, sheets, bars, stirrups, wire rods, and steel pipes. This segment also benefits from Ternium's strategic involvement in Usiminas, a leading steel manufacturer in Brazil, which enhances its market reach and operational capabilities. The Mining segment focuses on the extraction and processing of iron ore, producing concentrates and pellets for both internal use and external sales.
The company is committed to innovation and sustainability, as evidenced by its ongoing projects. Ternium is currently constructing a state-of-the-art steel slab mill in Pesquería, Nuevo León, Mexico. This facility is designed to integrate with the existing downstream operations and includes advanced technologies for carbon capture and the potential to switch from natural gas to hydrogen for Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) production. This emphasis on sustainability extends to water use, with the new facility relying on industrially treated wastewater.

For example, in the second quarter of 2023, the company achieved an operating income of $731.7 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $882.6 million, driven by strategic pricing and cost management. Moreover, Ternium's acquisition of additional shares in Usiminas in July 2023 further solidified its market position, with consolidation expected to reflect positively on financial statements.
