TYASA invests US$250 million in special steel plant

TYASA launched the first phase of its Special Steels project, a strategic investment aimed at expanding its presence in the high-quality steel segment and strengthening its position within the domestic steel industry. The project involves a total investment of US$250 million and is part of a comprehensive expansion plan focused on the development of SBQ-type special steels.

According to project information, this first phase is part of a broader expansion strategy that includes the subsequent development of inspection and conditioning lines, cold-finishing lines, and heat treatment lines, all of which are scheduled to begin operations in the third quarter of this year. These complementary stages aim to consolidate a more comprehensive production chain within the same industrial complex.

In terms of economic and employment impact, the project generated 250 direct jobs and more than 3,000 indirect jobs during its development, construction, and commissioning phases, reflecting its significance within the region’s industrial landscape.

With this launch, TYASA reaches a total production capacity of 1.6 million metric tons per year, establishing itself as the only producer in Mexico with a presence across the entire range of steels, including commercial long products, flat steel, and specialty steels for high-performance industrial applications.
