What Posco Mppc, S.a. De C.v. does

POSCO MPPC, S.A. de C.V. is a Mexican steel processing and distribution company that is a wholly-owned production subsidiary of South Korea-based POSCO Holdings (founded 1968 as Pohang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd). Operating under the trade name POSCO MEXICO PUEBLA PRODUCTION CENTER, the company was established in Puebla in 2007 and has grown to four manufacturing plants across central and northern Mexico: Puebla, San Luis Potosí, Celaya, and Aguascalientes. It supplies the North American market with rolled steel materials and cut-to-size processing services for the automotive, home appliance, and construction industries.

The company's product portfolio spans ten steel material grades — galvanized (GI), galvannealed (GA), stainless (STS), hot rolled (HR), cold rolled (CR), electro-galvanized (EG), pickled and oiled (PO), non-oriented electrical steel (NO), AL-HPF aluminum hot press forming steel, and ALCOSTA aluminum-silicon alloy coated steel — together with five processing services (Blanking, Slitter Light, Slitter Heavy, Slitter Wide-Range, and Mini Shear) executed under tight dimensional tolerances. Differentiated POSCO technologies such as AL-HPF (for high-strength automotive structural components) and ALCOSTA (for high-temperature exhaust applications) are deployed through the Mexican plants. Operations are certified to IATF 16949:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018.

POSCO MPPC generates revenue by selling steel coils/sheets and by performing precision cutting and processing for direct industrial customers, with a regional direct-sales model organized by plant (Ventas PUE, SLP, CEL, AGS). Anchor relationships include Nissan (customized processing at Aguascalientes since 2013) and global automakers and home appliance OEMs concentrated in Mexico's Bajío region. The company is leveraging the parent group's R&D pipeline — including NO electrical steel grades for EV/Hybrid motors and STS for EV/LNG battery boxes — to position for the electrified-mobility transition. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
