History

Ternium was formed in 2005 by the consolidation of three companies: Siderar of Argentina, Sidor of Venezuela and Hylsa of Mexico. Siderar was established by Argentine-based industrial conglomerate Techint in 1992 following the privatization of Somisa.

In 2007, Ternium acquired Grupo IMSA, thereby expanding its operations into Guatemala and the United States.

Ternium was listed on the NYSE on February 1, 2006.

Nationalization of Sidor by Venezuelan government

Ternium's Venezuelan subsidiary, Sidor, was nationalized by the Venezuelan government following an April 2008 resolution of the National Assembly of Venezuela. This move followed a series of worker disputes over pay which had paralyzed the company. In early 2009, compensation of US$1.65 billion was agreed on for the nationalization of Ternium's 59.7% stake, with Ternium keeping a 10% stake in the company.
