Consolidate assets, cross boundaries, change the world. It was through these principles that the Gerdau Group became the 14th largest steelmaker on the planet, with plants in South America, North America and Europe.
Throughout its 104 year history, Gerdau has always returned positive results and is now one of the fastest growing companies in the steel industry. In the last 20 years, it has expanded its physical sales by more than 7 times, against a world average of 1.5.
The Group’s positive performance reflects a posture characterized by professionalism, commitment and respect for people. These values are expressed in an attitude of responsibility in regard to its more than 27,000 employees – the Gerdau Group’s main competitive advantage.
This responsibility extends to Gerdau’s customers, shareholders, suppliers and communities. Initiatives such as transparent corporate governance, a commitment to seek above-market average profitability and investments in the environment and in people, make the Gerdau Group what it is today: an international player.
