Question · Q4 2025
Enrique Marquez requested more details on the upstream project in Pesquería, specifically if there is room for higher steel volumes upon completion, beyond market reliance. He also asked for details on expected cost savings from producing proprietary slabs versus purchasing from third parties, including logistics benefits.
Answer
Máximo Vedoya (CEO, Ternium) explained that the Pesquería upstream project is primarily focused on the automotive industry to meet USMCA melt and pour requirements by 2027, allowing Ternium to sell more to this sector and replace imports. Pablo Brizzio (CFO, Ternium) added that the project will generate significant savings by substituting purchased slabs with proprietary production, improve efficiency, and enable the production of previously unavailable products, leading to reduced logistics costs and potential volume increases in the auto sector.
