The new facility will be located in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Buenos Aires province, and will mark the first fully integrated minimill built in Argentina in the past 50 years.
The plant will process local scrap to produce 360,000 tons per year of rebar (bundled) and wire rod. Most of the production is planned for the local construction sector, with a portion destined for export markets.
The minimill will be equipped with Danieli technologies, including Digimelter, Digirefiner, a single-line Octocaster, rolling mills for rebar and wire rod production, and a Direct Rolling Bundling station. This setup aims to ensure high efficiency and consistent product quality through continuous casting and rolling. The endless scrap feeding system will reduce energy consumption and emissions, while eliminating the need for billet reheating will support green steel production. The hybrid-ready Q-One system will enable the use of renewable energy.
The Danieli Octocaster will produce endless billets with a 154 mm octagonal section, feeding the housingless bar mill and wire rod line equipped with a Fast Finishing Block.
Danieli will also provide smoke and water treatment systems, cranes, and Danieli Automation process control solutions throughout the plant. Commissioning is planned for the first half of 2028.
