Initially named Auerbach \& Werner—combining the names of its German-origin founders: 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, Santa Catarina’s first steel foundry—and one of Brazil’s earliest—was born. Over the past decade, the company has acquired other businesses to expand its production capacity and opened 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 operations, develop new markets, and deliver its steel-based solutions across diverse industries.
