Votorantim Siderurgia

What Votorantim Siderurgia does

ArcelorMittal Brasil S.A. is the Brazilian subsidiary of global steelmaker ArcelorMittal and operates as the largest steel producer in Brazil and Latin America. Headquartered at Avenida Carandaí, 1115, Funcionários in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, the company runs manufacturing units across at least eight Brazilian states — including long-established steel transformation in São Bento do Sul (SC, 55 years), integrated production at the Vega unit in São Francisco do Sul (SC, 22 years), and operations in Ceará, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo — supported by a workforce of more than 20,000 employees.

The product portfolio centers on long and flat steel products for construction and industrial buyers: Vergalhão CA70 S high-resistance rebar, Telha de Aço Galvalume® roofing, Perfil W wide-flange beams, and the XCarb® low-carbon steel line positioned for ESG-sensitive customers. Underlying technology includes a circular-economy stack — 22% of steel produced from scrap, the ReciCAR tracking and certification system for scrap from construction, automotive, and white-goods streams, and 70+ commercialized coproducts — augmented by the patented Rolth slag-to-aggregate process and continuous environmental monitoring.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of steel products via the largest steel distribution network in Brazil: owned retail stores, direct enterprise sales teams, an e-commerce storefront, 0800 phone ordering, and WhatsApp sales. Pricing is quote-based for industrial B2B accounts on multi-year contracts, with unit pricing at retail. A secondary revenue stream is self-generated renewable energy (wind and solar joint ventures with Casa dos Ventos and Atlas Renewable Energy), targeted at 85% energy self-sufficiency as part of a net-zero-by-2050 decarbonization roadmap. Customer segments span Construction (primary), Automotive, Agribusiness, Oil & Gas, and Home Appliances, with ESG programs and Fundação ArcelorMittal social investments (R$ 85 million in sports 2012–2025) reinforcing brand equity.
