TYASA

TYASA — officially TA 2000, S.A. de C.V. and formerly known as Talleres y Aceros — is a Mexican steel producer headquartered in Ixtaczoquitlán, west of Córdoba in the state of Veracruz. The company describes itself as a 100% Mexican steel enterprise that is solid, innovative, reliable and in constant growth, and it positions steel as "a solution for every need." Its legal form is a Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable, and it operates as a family-owned business. The company's product range is organized around four major lines: construction steels, coated steels, flat steels and special steels. Its catalog includes rebar (varilla corrugada), wire rod (alambrón), electrowelded mesh (malla electrosoldada), painted sheet (lámina pintada), Colosteel and Galvasteel roofing products and tiles. TYASA serves customers across construction, hardware stores (ferretería), blacksmithing (herrería), service centers, forging and toolmaking, and the steel transformation industry. According to its own account, it is the only steelmaker that produces and markets all four of these major product lines. TYASA was founded in 1985 according to its corporate "About Us" page, while the German Wikipedia entry states that the company was founded in 1980 and that the commissioning of its rolling mill in 1985 marked the start of operations. It began with long-product steelmaking and added a 45-tonne electric arc furnace in 1993. In autumn 2014, while still named Talleres y Aceros, it took final acceptance of a new compact steel plant with a capacity of 1.2 million tonnes of steel per year at Ixtaczoquitlán, built by Primetals Technologies and notable for the first use of an EAF Quantum-type electric arc furnace. The company also operates a second plant in Mérida, the capital of Yucatán. In September 2022, by then renamed TA 2000, it ordered a twin ladle furnace from Primetals Technologies; the equipment maker reported that TYASA employed 2,400 people at that time. Quality and certification are central to TYASA's positioning. It holds ISO 9001:2015 certification issued by the German company TÜV Rheinland. In a recent announcement, TYASA said it had certified 100% of its Stage 1 products under the NOM-251-SE-2025 standard — including grade 42 and grade 60 rebar, grade 50 corrugated wire cages, type 2 grade 50 corrugated wire cages, standard grade 60 electrowelded corrugated wire cages and grade 50 electrowelded corrugated mesh — through the Organismo de Certificación de la Industria del Acero y la Construcción, A.C. (OCIAC), claiming to be the first company to achieve the full scope of the standard in this first stage. The company also announced the inauguration of the first phase of its Special Steels project, expanding its capacity. TYASA remains a privately held, family-owned Mexican steelmaker with more than four decades of operation, supplying the domestic construction and industrial markets from its Veracruz and Yucatán facilities.

TYASA — officially TA 2000, S.A. de C.V. and formerly Talleres y Aceros — is a Mexican steel producer based in Ixtaczoquitlán, west of Córdoba in Veracruz. Its legal form is a Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable, and it operates as a family-owned enterprise. Sources differ slightly on its founding: the company's own "About Us" page states it was founded in 1985, while the German Wikipedia entry says the company was founded in 1980 and that the commissioning of its rolling mill in 1985 marked the start of operations. Either way, the mid-1980s marked TYASA's entry into steel production. The company began in long products and expanded its metallurgical base over the following decades. In 1993 it commissioned a 45-tonne electric arc furnace, adding primary steelmaking capacity. In autumn 2014, while still trading as Talleres y Aceros, TYASA received final acceptance from the metallurgical plant builder Primetals Technologies for a new compact steel plant at Ixtaczoquitlán with a capacity of 1.2 million tonnes of steel per year. According to Primetals, this was the first use of an EAF Quantum-type electric arc furnace. In addition to the Veracruz site, the family-owned company operates a second plant in Mérida, the capital of Yucatán. By September 2022 the company had changed its corporate name to TA 2000, and Primetals Technologies announced that the steelmaker had ordered a twin ladle furnace. In the same announcement, Primetals reported that TYASA employed 2,400 people. The company has continued to invest in capacity and product breadth, announcing the inauguration of the first phase of its Special Steels project. Over more than four decades TYASA has grown from a long-products producer into a diversified steelmaker. Its own account states that it is the only steel producer that manufactures and markets four major product lines: construction steels, coated steels, flat steels and special steels. Its catalog spans billets, rebar, wire rod, electrowelded products, annealed wire, nails, galvanized wire and derivatives, hot-rolled flat steel, and coated and formed steel. It serves construction, hardware, blacksmithing, service centers, forging and toolmaking, and steel transformation customers. Quality and certification have been central to its positioning. TYASA holds ISO 9001:2015 certification from the German certification body TÜV Rheinland. It has also pursued product certification under Mexican standards: it announced that 100% of its Stage 1 products under NOM-251-SE-2025 — grade 42 and grade 60 rebar, grade 50 corrugated wire cages, type 2 grade 50 corrugated wire cages, standard grade 60 electrowelded corrugated wire cages and grade 50 electrowelded corrugated mesh — are formally certified by the Organismo de Certificación de la Industria del Acero y la Construcción, A.C. (OCIAC), an approved product certification body, claiming to be the first company to achieve the full scope of the standard in this first stage. The company remains privately held and family-owned, with operations in Veracruz and Yucatán.
