The company takes its name from the Latin words Ter (three) and Eternium (eternal) in reference to the integration of the three steel mills.
History
[edit]Ternium was formed in 2005 by the consolidation of three companies: Siderar of Argentina, Sidor of Venezuela and Hylsa of Mexico.
In 2006, Ternium was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.[1]
In 2007, Ternium acquired Grupo IMSA, expanding its operations into Guatemala and the United States.[1][2]
In April 2008, after a series of worker disputes over pay which led to strike actions, Sidor was nationalized by the government of Venezuela.[3][4] In May 2009, compensation of US$1.65 billion was paid for Ternium's 59.7% stake in Sidor.[5]
In August 2010, Ternium acquired a 54% interest in Ferrasa, and in April 2015, Ternium acquired the remainder of the company, which was renamed Ternium Colombia.[1][6]
In 2017, Ternium acquired CSA Siderúrgica do Atlântico for €1.4 billion and renamed it Ternium Brazil.[7]
In July 2023, Ternium increased its ownership in Usiminas to 51.5%.[8]
