Vetorial Steel Mill Resumes Pig Iron Production in Ribas Do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso Do Sul

Vetorial, a company operating in the mining, steel, and reforestation sectors, resumed pig iron production last Saturday (28th) at its unit located in Ribas Do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso Do Sul. The steel mill invested around R$ 25 million, created approximately 120 jobs during the installation recovery months, and is now continuing to generate jobs and income in the region.

The Resumption of Production at the Steel Mill Unit in Mato Grosso Do Sul

The blast furnace at the steel mill now in operation will produce 237,000 tons annually of pig iron, generating 194 new jobs and creating significant impacts in the production chain, particularly in forestry and carbonization. With activities halted since 2014 due to a sharp contraction in domestic and international markets for pig iron and the national economic instability, Vetorial Steel resumes operations with high-performance equipment that will ensure high productivity and strict environmental and safety controls for its employees.

The steel mill in Mato Grosso Do Sul has its own electricity generation, a pioneering condition, as it was the first steel plant to implement this technology in Brazil back in the 1990s. The mill also features a modern PCI plant (pulverized coal injection) that utilizes all coal fines generated in the production process. With modern filters, pollutant emissions in this new phase of operations have been significantly reduced, as has noise production.

The Simec Group, a Mexican multinational steel company, announced a new expansion project for its plant in Pindamonhangaba, São Paulo. The steel mill reported it intends to double production and generate 750 new jobs at the unit. The Mexican group plans to invest US$ 300 million, equivalent to around R$ 1.6 billion, to double the production of rebar and wire rod.

According to the steel mill, the expected start of construction for the expansion project is this year, which would allow for the commencement of new production capacity in 2023. For the project, it is anticipated that 3,000 temporary jobs will be created, and once the expansion is complete, 750 direct jobs will be generated in São Paulo. The expansion of the steel mill in São Paulo will enable the doubling of the plant’s recycling capacity from 625,000 tons/year to 1.25 million tons/year, thereby doubling its entire rebar production in bar and coil and wire rod.
