Outokumpu Mexinox faces possible delivery delays after recent flooding causes temporary halt in production

Due to torrential rains that occurred in San Luis Potosi, Mexico around September 15, Outokumpu’s Mexinox mill experienced flooding within its facility and was forced to temporarily halt a portion of its production site for the safety of its personnel and equipment.

While we continue to assess the damage caused by the flooding, we have deemed the facility safe and have recommenced partial production. As a result, customers could experience delayed deliveries. We are working diligently to establish a timeline for returning to full production.

Outokumpu Mexinox is the only finishing mill in Mexico. The facility produces coil, strip, sheets, circles and plate materials.
