Acerbrag ensures product quality through certifications from national and international standards organizations. In 2007, Acerbrag generated revenue of USD 130,000,000 primarily through B2B sales of its steel products, which are supplied in response to project-specific requirements, often involving bulk orders and customized pricing.

With the acquisition by Votorantim, Acerbrag plans to focus on enhancing its production capabilities and expanding its product offerings to meet market demands. Specific geographic expansion into new markets in South America is anticipated, although exact regions and timelines have not been disclosed. The recently secured funding of USD 40 mn from the Buyout in June 2009 will be utilized to support these growth initiatives.
