Aceroteca Metals LLC. Breaks Ground on New Metal Service Center in Seguin, Texas

SEGUIN, TX – The Seguin Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) announced today that Aceroteca Metals, LLC has broken ground on a new 59,000 square foot metal service center located on a 23-acre site at Heideke Street and Seidemann Street in Seguin, Texas. The project will represent a total capital investment of at least $10 million and will result in the creation of at least 20 full-time jobs. The facility will handle steel coils, cutting and slitting them into steel sheets for downstream processing. Aceroteca expects construction on the project to be completed by the Spring of 2024, with operations commencing soon after.

Aceroteca Metals was established with a goal to promote steel by offering the service in the best way feasible and for the lowest cost. Aceroteca utilizes their knowledge as a service center and as a trader to provide clients with steel of origin that is more competitive by exploiting the capacity set up in Mexico. Aceroteca’s primary area of focus is on flat steel products for the automotive, heavy industry, commercial, HVAC, white line, metal and mechanical, and construction applications.

“Seguin’s strategic location within South-Central Texas was a huge factor in deciding where to site this project,” said Hector Morales, CEO for Aceroteca Metals. “Access to key logistical infrastructure in Seguin such as Interstate 10 and State Highway 130 allows for us to easily serve our customers in the rapidly growing San Antonio and Austin markets. It also enables our company to tap into one of the most plentiful and rapidly growing labor markets in the United States. We are excited to build our first U.S. based facility in our new home, Seguin, Texas.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Aceroteca as the newest member of the Seguin business community,” said Josh Schneuker, Executive Director of the Seguin Economic Development Corporation. “Aceroteca’s facility will complement our local and regional manufacturing base, specifically those manufacturers in the metal and metal fabrication sectors. Expanding opportunities for our manufacturers to locally source their raw materials helps grow our economy and ensures that Seguin manufacturers can remain competitive.”

The SEDC worked with greater:SATX, our regional economic development organization, to help locate Aceroteca to Seguin. greater:SATX first started working with Aceroteca through the International Business Development Center (IBDC). The IBDC functions as a soft landing for foreign businesses looking to expand into the U.S. market in the San
 
Antonio region. Since its creation in 1999, IBDC has helped over 200 businesses create lasting expansion in the San Antonio region.

“We are excited for Seguin to become the U.S. home of Aceroteca Metals, and we welcome them to our region,” said Sarah Morales, Sr. Vice President of Corporate Location Advisory Services at greater:SATX. “This exceptional partnership will not only bring significant capital investment and jobs to Seguin, but it will also foster economic activity within the Greater San Antonio and Austin mega-region, continuing down to Northern Mexico, with Aceroteca and the City of Seguin at the heart of it all,” added Morales.
