    Mexican company to install two ERW tube mills

    Written by Laura Miller

    Italy’s Danieli announced that a Mexican company has ordered two electric-resistance welded (ERW) tube mills from Danieli Centro Tubes.

    Danieli said it will provide the equipment and technology for Achv Aceros’ new facilities in the western part of Monterrey, Mexico.

    The mills will produce welded structural tubes with outside diameters of 3/4 to 7 9/16 inches (19-193 mm), and equivalent square and rectangular sections, with wall thicknesses up to 0.287 inches (7.3 mm).

    Operations are expected to commence by the end of 2025.

    Achv Aceros has a “well-established commercial network,” according to Danieli.

    Achv Aceros is presumed to be Aceros Chula Vista, a Monterrey-based steel distributor and importer.

    USW, USS, and Cliffs extend labor talks for 30 days, avert work stoppage

    The United Steelworkers (USW) union, U.S. Steel, and Cleveland-Cliffs on Monday agreed to extend the terms of their current labor contracts by 30 days. The current basic labor agreements between the USW and the two steelmakers had been scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sept. 1. The extension allows the USW and the companies to continue negotiations. It also averts the immediate threat of a strike or lockout in a steel market already characterized by historically tight supplies.
