The President of the Steel Mill Met with the Governor of the Steel Valley and Announced Plans to Rehabilitate the Blast Furnace, the Steel Mill, and the Coke Ovens of the Ipatinga Plant.

The president of the Steel Plants of Minas Gerais (Usiminas), Alberto Akikazu Ono, and the Corporate Director of Sustainability and Institutional Relations, André Chaves, met with Governor Romeu Zema this Wednesday (1/18) at the Administrative City to discuss the company’s investment plan of R$ 3.6 billion and job creation in the state between 2023 and 2026.

Ono states that R$ 2.7 billion of the investment will be allocated to the repair of Blast Furnace 3 (which started in 2019). The equipment has been in use for 23 years, but after the renovations, it will operate better and cause less impact on the environment. Approximately eight thousand temporary jobs will be generated solely by the blast furnace, he stated.

R$ 1.1 billion will be spent on the restoration and renovation of coke ovens 2 and 3 and an additional R$ 893 million on steel mills.

Romeu Zema Focused on Developing and Enabling the Productive Chain of MG

Zema praised the investment plan of the steel mill and reiterated the importance of the company to the economy of Minas Gerais and the Metropolitan Region of the Steel Valley. “Investments of this magnitude create potential for a huge chain of suppliers, both local and state-wide,” he said.

The Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services generated R$ 499 million for the Usiminas Group in 2021 (ICMS). R$ 577 million was its value from January to November 2022. Most of the 15,000 workers of the entity are based in Minas.

How to Apply for Job Vacancies at Usiminas?

Internal CPG – It usually posts some job openings quite frequently; the last time was about 3 months ago in the city of Ipatinga. The jobs available at that time were for:

  • Assembly Mechanic
  • Scaffolder
  • MIG Welder
  • TIG Welder
  • Plumber
  • Electrician

The last posting was last Friday for the mechanic position.
