What Ternium does
Ternium S.A. is a publicly traded Luxembourg-domiciled holding company (NYSE: TX; founded 2005/2006) that operates as one of the largest integrated steel producers in the Americas, controlled by the Techint Group's San Faustin vehicle under the Rocca family. The company runs 18 production plants across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, the United States, and Guatemala, supported by 2 mining facilities in Mexico, with 13.8 million tons of annual hot-rolled coil production capacity and a workforce of approximately 21,000 people spanning 27 nationalities. Its product portfolio spans flat steel (hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized, prepainted, tinplate, electrogalvanized), long steel (rebars, wire rods, welded mesh), tubes (conduction, structural, mechanical, fencing), and proprietary construction profiles (Multypanel, Galvateja, Losacero). Manufacturing is anchored by DRI-EAF low-emission steel technology under construction at the Pesquería industrial center in Mexico.
The company's go-to-market is a hybrid enterprise field sales model with a 30-ton minimum for direct orders, supplemented by a distributor network for smaller buyers and the Ternium Activo digital self-service platform for 24/7 orders and inquiries. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time sales of physical steel products at quote-based pricing tied to global steel benchmarks, serving primary end markets in construction (residential, commercial, infrastructure) and manufacturing (automotive, industrial equipment, consumer goods). Tertiary segments include SMEs supported through the ProPymes program and renewable energy via the Vientos de Olavarría wind park.
Financially, Ternium generated approximately $15.1 billion in FY2025 revenue and $1.5 billion in Adjusted EBITDA (down from $2.04B in FY2024), with $712 million of net cash and a peak CapEx of $2.5 billion for the Pesquería expansion in 2025 stepping down to ~$2 billion in 2026. The 2026 strategic agenda centers on completing the Usiminas acquisition (Brazil, $315.2M), integrating the TASA acquisition (Argentina), driving anti-dumping enforcement against Chinese imports, and ramping DRI-EAF capacity to capture USMCA-aligned nearshoring demand.
