Ternium Brasil, Owner of a Steel Plant Located in Santa Cruz, Announced an Investment of US$ 40 Million, About R$ 210 Million, in the Construction of a Technical School in Rio de Janeiro.
The technical school in Rio de Janeiro will be named Roberto Rocca and is expected to be completed by 2025. Designed to teach electromechanics and mechatronics, the unit pays tribute to the Italian-Argentine businessman who died in 2003 and was created by the newly established Ternium Institute.
According to Fernanda Candeias, director of the Ternium Institute, “the focus of our actions is always to develop Santa Cruz.” The project will feature infrastructure that will also be used by the community, such as an auditorium and sports courts.
Ternium, the steel company acquired from German Thyssenkrupp five years ago, is preparing to build a school with a maximum capacity of 576 students. Located along the Rio-Santos Highway, the school will occupy 8,800 square meters of constructed area on a plot of 161,600 square meters.
