Grupo Alianza del Acero has officially opened its new industrial headquarters at kilometer 12 in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay. The company is the result of a merger between Aço Pará from Brazil and CIE from Paraguay.
The facility will operate under the maquila regime, which aims to encourage regional productive integration and make Ciudad del Este a key location for export-oriented industry. Grupo Alianza del Acero will focus on processing and transforming steel, which is expected to help expand the industrial value chain in eastern Paraguay, create formal jobs, and promote technical knowledge transfer within the metallurgical sector.
CIE SA is a Paraguayan company with more than four decades of experience and holds a license for the Paraguay Country Brand. It has been involved in projects related to electrical, industrial, naval, and electromechanical infrastructure. Aço Pará brings its background in steel production and marketing from Brazil to this new partnership.
