Ternium announced today the successful startup of its new cold rolling mill and galvanizing lines at its industrial complex in Pesquería, Nuevo León, marking a significant milestone in the company’s long-term investment plan to expand high-quality steel production in North America. The new facilities will increase Ternium’s capacity to produce advanced, value-added steel products for key sectors including automotive, home appliances, construction, and renewable energy. The cold rolling mill will enable tighter thickness tolerances and improved surface quality, while the galvanizing lines will produce coated steels with enhanced corrosion resistance and durability.
“This startup represents another important step in strengthening our industrial platform in Mexico and reinforcing our commitment to our customers across the region,” said a Ternium spokesperson. “By expanding our capabilities in cold-rolled and coated steel, we can better support manufacturers with high-performance materials produced locally and sustainably.”
The project is part of Ternium’s multi-year investment program aimed at increasing production efficiency, reducing logistics costs, and supporting nearshoring trends that are driving manufacturing growth in Mexico. With global supply chains evolving, local steel availability has become increasingly critical for companies seeking reliability and shorter lead times.
The new lines incorporate advanced automation and energy-efficient technologies designed to reduce emissions and optimize resource use. Ternium noted that environmental safeguards were integrated into every stage of construction and commissioning, consistent with the company’s sustainability goals.
The expansion is also expected to create new jobs and strengthen local supplier networks in Nuevo León, contributing to regional economic development. Training programs were implemented to prepare employees to operate the new equipment safely and efficiently.
With the startup complete, Ternium plans to ramp up production over the coming months while working closely with customers to qualify new products. The company believes the investment will enhance its competitiveness and support long-term growth in the Mexican steel industry.
