About This Brand
Founded in 1964 in the southern Peruvian city of Arequipa, Aceros Arequipa has grown from a modest regional steel mill into Peru's foremost integrated steel producer. The company operates a vertically integrated production chain that begins with scrap collection and direct reduced iron, continues through electric arc furnace steelmaking, and ends with hot rolling of long steel products. Its flagship facility in Pisco, on the central coast of Peru, houses state-of-the-art continuous casting and rolling lines capable of producing over one million metric tons of finished steel annually. Aceros Arequipa's product portfolio centers on construction steel: corrugated reinforcing bars in various diameters and grades, wire rod for downstream drawing and nail manufacturing, structural angles and channels, and smooth round bars. The company also produces steel balls for mining applications, serving Peru's critical copper and gold mining sectors. Listed on the Bolsa de Valores de Lima, Aceros Arequipa has consistently invested in modernizing its production technology, reducing energy consumption per ton, and minimizing environmental impact through closed-loop water systems and advanced emission controls. The company distributes through a nationwide network of warehouses and authorized dealers, ensuring rapid delivery to construction sites across Peru's diverse geography, from coastal cities to Andean highlands.
