Announcement Made Today (06/06) By The Company President, Accompanied By The Governor Of São Paulo, In A Meeting At The Bandeirantes Palace
The state of São Paulo will gain another plant. The president and main shareholder of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN), Benjamin Steinbruch, just announced, this morning (06/06), the construction of a galvanized steel rolling mill in the State of São Paulo.
The announcement was made during a meeting attended by, in addition to the president of CSN, the governor of the state of São Paulo, João Dória, the vice-governor Rodrigo Garcia, the Secretary of Finance, Henrique Meirelles, and other state authorities.
CSN will invest R$ 1.5 billion in the plant, which will have the capacity to produce 350,000 tons of rolled steel per year and will primarily serve the automotive and white goods markets (refrigerators, freezers, stoves, and washing machines).
The installation of the new rolling mill in the state of São Paulo is due to its proximity to the country’s automotive industry and also to the metal-metalworking hub being developed in the State as already announced here on Click Petróleo e Gás.
