The Ouro Branco steel mill, owned and operated by Gerdau, is located in the city of Ouro Branco, in Minas Gerais state. It is Gerdau’s largest steelmaking facility and has traditionally focused on producing sections and rods for the construction sector. Since 2013, the plant has expanded into flat products, and in 2016, it began producing plate. The steel mill has two blast furnaces (BFs), #1 and #2, with a combined hot metal production capacity of 4.5 million tonnes per year. Gerdau is investing approximately US$600 million in its Miguel Burnier iron ore project, also in Minas Gerais, with the goal of producing 5.5 Mtpa of high-grade pellet feed (Fe > 65%). The concentrate will be transported via slurry pipeline to the steel plant, supporting its integrated production strategy.
