28 named firms across 4 scrap hubs — Guadalajara, Lázaro Cárdenas, Monterrey, Orizaba
Mexico is one of the Americas' largest steel producers, with electric arc furnace steelmaking concentrated in Monterrey — home to Ternium's operations and DeAcero, one of the hemisphere's biggest scrap consumers — alongside Guadalajara, Orizaba, and the Pacific coast complex at Lázaro Cárdenas.
The country runs a structural deficit in ferrous scrap and draws heavily on imports from the United States. Copper mining and smelting is led by Grupo México, and Monterrey also hosts significant aluminium and copper products industries. Several producers are listed on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores.
The exchanges and price services the trade in Mexico quotes against. Scrap is priced as a discount to these.
