In a statement concerning the acquisition of Outokumpu's distribution business, Prominox President Ivette Autrique emphasized that this strategic move will solidify Prominox's leadership position within the Mexican market. Autrique stated, "The integration of Outokumpu's distribution network into our portfolio will enable us to enhance our strategic standing and expand our customer base."
