Usiminas seeks partner for pelletizing project
Brazilian steel and iron ore producer Usiminas is seeking partner for a pelletizing plant project in the country's southeastern Minas Gerais state, Steel Business Briefing learns from company president Wilson Brumer during a ceremony for the commissioning of a new galvanizing line at its Ipatinga works.
Brazilian flats maker Usiminas confirmed last Friday that it is in ``advanced negotiations'' with distribution companies Rio Negro and Fasal to acquire their complete ownership, as Steel Business Briefing previously reported.
