Acindar merged with Arcelor subsidiary Belgo Mineira in 2001 and became part of the newly formed ArcelorMittal Group in 2006. Since 2008 ArcelorMittal has controlled 99.5% of the company.

Acindar produces bars and balls for the grinding of minerals; steel meshes for the mining industry; wires, turnbuckles and special posts for the wine industry; poles, rods, wires and accessories for agricultural fencing; and a variety of products for the construction, oil, and metallurgical industries. Acindar also offers technical advisory services, along with cutting, bending and pre-assembling of steel parts according to the client's technical specifications.
