Initially named Auerbach \& Werner—combining the surnames of its German-origin owners: engineer Paul Werner and blacksmith Ernst Auerbach—the company expanded and incorporated steel into its production line, changing its name to Electro Aço Altona in 1933\. Thus emerged Santa Catarina’s first steel foundry and one of Brazil’s earliest. Over the past decade, the company has acquired other enterprises to accommodate and expand its production line, while also establishing overseas subsidiaries to better serve customers in high-demand commercial regions such as Europe and North America. Altona continuously progresses, consistently identifying the most dynamic sectors of the economy to broaden its scope, develop new markets, and deliver its steel solutions across diverse industries.
