Brazilian flats producer Usiminas announced plans to invest the equivalent of $712 million in the state of Minas Gerais, where its Ipatinga plant is located, between 2023 and 2026.

In the steel conversion area of Ipatinga, the investments are estimated at $177 million, while $217 million is expected to be invested in the refurbishment of the coke plants number 2 and 3.
