Venezuela’s state-run steelmaker Complejo Siderúrgico Nacional (CSN) has reactivated two more mills, in addition to other four, which resumed activities late on June, government news agency AVN said this week.
According to AVN, both CSN’s Valencia and the Guarenas mills resumed activities in the past few weeks.
Basic industries minister Juan Arias said CSN has now six reactivated mills. The official said the mills had halted operations due to conjunctural issues, such as lack of feedstock.
A pellets plant at state-run steelmaker Sidor was also reactivated, the Venezuelan minister added.
Venezuela’s CSN produces rebar, beams, profiles, sections, meshes, trusses, billets, plates, joist and bars.
