The National Steel Complex (CSN), a company under the supervision of the Venezuelan Corporation of Guiana (CVG), has marked a milestone for the Venezuelan industry, promoting economic transformation under the framework of the Plan for the Homeland of the 7 Transformations, with the export of corrugated steel bars to Colombia, manufactured at the Antímano Plant.

This historic achievement for the national economy was carried out through an event led by the Minister of Ecological Mining Development and president of the CVG, Héctor Silva, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Trade, Coromoto Godoy, and the president of the National Steel Complex, Colonel Danny Parada.

The president of the CVG highlighted the joint work with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and other entities in the sector, together with the CSN workforce, to consolidate the productivity of the national industry. During his speech, he said: “We are very proud to belong to this working class that has been striving, complying with the instructions of President Nicolás Maduro. Our workers are engaged in production for the benefit of the Venezuelan economy.”

For her part, Minister Coromoto Godoy recognized the important achievement of the CSN working class in having the capacity to export steel material, which implies high added value for the diversification of the Venezuelan economy. In addition, he indicated that, “we are going further! because the quality of this steel made by the Venezuelan working class must reach the world's markets.”

In turn, Colonel Parada pointed out that after an arduous international audit, the National Steel Complex was certified by Icontec, making it possible to carry out this historic export after 16 years. All this in compliance with the strategic guidelines of the Bolivarian Government to produce, supply and export quality cabillas.

Guaranteed quality, industrial sovereignty

The exported product, W60 steel in different inches, strictly complies with the Colombian Technical Standard NTC2289, certified by the Colombian Institute of Technical Standards and Certification (Icontec). This international endorsement endorses the excellence of “Made in Venezuela”, forged by workers committed to the industrial development of the Homeland.

Strategic step towards international markets
