The ThyssenKrupp Mexinox cold-rolling operation in San Luis Potosí is Mexico’s only producer of
cold-rolled stainless products. The company was established in 1976, and ThyssenKrupp Stainless AG
acquired a majority interest in 1997. Since then, the plant has been continuously expanded. In August
2006 a bright annealing line went into operation which had been relocated to Mexico from Italy and
modernized. It allows ThyssenKrupp Mexinox to offer the market an additional high-quality finish.
Processing capacity has also been further expanded.
ThyssenKrupp Mexinox has a cold-rolled capacity of around 250,000 metric tons per year. Most of
the plant’s starting material is hot-rolled coil from the group’s European plants. ThyssenKrupp Mexinox
primarily serves the North American market. Distribution on the domestic Mexican market is carried
out via a network of seven warehouses, while exports to the important US market are handled via the
sales company ThyssenKrupp Mexinox USA in Bannockburn (Illinois), and a warehouse in Brownsville
(Texas).
ThyssenKrupp Stainless has established an outstanding position in the NAFTA region. The
company is the leading supplier in Mexico and has a market share of more than ten percent in Canada
and the USA.
