HWI, A member of Calderys is looking forward to connecting with customers, partners, and industry professionals at the upcoming ExpoAcero, one of Latin America’s premier events dedicated to technological exchange within the steel industry. Taking place at the World Trade Center Veracruz in Mexico, this event brings together experts, academics, professionals, and students who share a common passion for steel and its many applications.

Representing HWI at the exhibition will be sales manager Alejandro Montiel and his team, who will spend their time engaging with attendees and highlighting the company’s high-temperature solutions designed to support the demanding environments of modern steel production. Conversations will focus on how HWI’s refractory expertise and integrated approach help steel producers improve performance, reliability, and efficiency in their operations. Also attending will be members of our Brazil operations, who will showcase one of the most important developments in steel casting fluxes, focused on environmental protection using renewable natural resources.

The team will also emphasize the important role of HWI’s 2025 Plant of the Year Award winner, Monterrey, Mexico in supporting customers across the region. With strong regional manufacturing capabilities and technical expertise, the Monterrey facility plays a key role in delivering responsive service and tailored solutions to steel producers throughout Latin America.

ExpoAcero is held in conjunction with the CONAC technical congress and is widely recognized as one of the most important gatherings for the steel sector in Latin America. In addition to the exhibition, the event features a comprehensive technical program including specialized courses, master conferences, panel discussions, and business meetings that explore the latest innovations, emerging trends, and technological advancements shaping the future of the steel industry.

For HWI, participating in ExpoAcero provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas, and demonstrate how our products, services, and regional capabilities support the evolving needs of steelmakers throughout the region. As the steel industry continues to innovate and grow, events like ExpoAcero remain an important platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing across the global steel community.
