The Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional was founded on April 9, 1941 and started its operations on October 1, 1946. As the first integrated producer of flat steel in Brazil, the CSN is a milestone in the Brazilian industrialization process. Its steel allowed the implementation of the first national industries. Privatized after more than six decades of activity in 1993, it is still making history.

A public company, with stocks traded in the São Paulo and New York (NYSE) markets, CSN is one of the biggest and most competitive industrial complexes in Latin America. With an annual output capacity of 5.8 million tonnes and around 8,000 employees, CSN focuses its activities on steel, mining and infrastructure. It offers one of the most complete range of flat steel of the region, with high added value.

The strategy integrated and aligned with the core business ensures the company’s leading position in the Brazilian steel sector. The acquisition of Heartland Steel, constituting CSN LLC, in the US, in 2001, marks the beginning of CSN’s internationalization process. Currently, the company has one integrated steel mill, five industrial units (two of them abroad, in the US and Portugal), iron ore, limestone and dolomite and tin mines, a strong distributor of flat steel, harbor terminals, participations in railways and in two hidroelectric plants. With a firm and innovative management, the company believes in the enterpreneurial strength of Brazilian capital and in the country’s huge potential to compete in the steel market.

CSN steel is present in several segments, among which we may mention automotive, civil construction, packagings, White goods and OEM, supplied to clients in Brazil and overseas.
