history
The company was founded in 1955 as Materiales Fierro in Monterrey , where its headquarters are still today. Villacero has been represented with its products on the North American market since 1986. In 1999 Villacero founded a joint venture with Coutinho Caro + Co and Ferrostaal . In 2007 Villacero sold its Sicartsa steelworks in Lázaro Cárdenas to ArcelorMittal .
In 2007, the European Commission approved a joint venture between MAN Ferrostaal Power Industry and CCC Steel (Ferrostaal) of the financial investor MPC Capital and the Mexican Grupo Villacero in accordance with the EU Merger Regulation . With the joint venture , the global activities in the field of steel sales were bundled in the newly founded company Coutinho & Ferrostaa , based in Hamburg .
In 2012 Villacero took over Coutinho & Ferrostaal GmbH & Co. KG by purchasing all of the shares in Ferrostaal Metals Holding GmbH, which in turn held a third of Coutinho & Ferrostaal. Another third was acquired from Coutinho, Caro + Co. Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, which belongs to MPC. Together with a third that has already been held for a long time, Villacero holds a total of 100 percent in the Hamburg-based steel trading company Coutinho & Ferrostaal through its German affiliates. The company was subsequently renamed C&F Steel International GmbH & Co. KG and an exit from MPC, in which Villacero had held a 25.1 percent stake since 2009.
