Background

The steel industry's roots in Pérez, Argentina date back to the 1950s, when Sipar Laminación de Aceros SA began producing finished steel products for Argentina's agricultural sector.[3] In 2005, Brazilian steelmaker Gerdau - Latin America's leading scrap metal recycler[4] and long steel producer[5] - acquired a majority stake in Sipar Aceros.[6] As of December 2020, Gerdau held a 99.99% equity interest in the plant.[7]

In 2017 Gerdau began producing crude steel at the Pérez plant with the inauguration of a new Danieli 75-tonne FastArc™ AC electric arc furnace.[8][9] The plant has the capacity to produce 650,000 tonnes of billets[8][9] and 240,000 tonnes of rolled products[7] annually. Gerdau Sipar specializes in long steel products for the automotive, agricultural, civil construction and home appliance industries.[6]
