Gerdau S.A. is a Brazilian integrated steel producer founded in 1901 and headquartered in São Paulo. The company operates through three geographic segments: Brazil Business, North America Business, and South America Business, and is listed on the NYSE under the ticker GGB.
Gerdau manufactures a broad range of steel products, including rebars, bars, wires, thick plates, hot-rolled coils, billets, blooms, wire rods, and structural profiles. It also produces specialty steels serving the agricultural, automotive, construction, distribution, energy, industrial, and mining markets. In addition, the company operates iron ore mines in Brazil, giving it a degree of vertical integration over a key raw material input.

As a mid-cap stock with a market capitalization of roughly $9.2 billion USD, it is among the larger publicly traded steel producers based in the Americas.
