Grupo Simec: its main competitors

Grupo Simec highlights that competition in the steel industry is significant and exerts downward pressure on prices.

Due to high initial costs, the economics of operating a steel mill on a continuous basis can encourage mill operators to establish and maintain high levels of production even in times of low demand, further decreasing prices and profit margins.
