A golf tournament, “PEASA Invitational”, held in October 2018, raised funds for local children’s charities.

Acero (PEASA) recently contracted Fives to design and supply a complete OTO tube mill line for its new Tubo Conduit plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The new plant, with a production capacity of 20,000 tons per year, aims to produce electrical mechanical tubing (EMT) for the conduction of electrical wires in industrial facilities, classified areas and corrosive environments. Fives, a long-term partner of PEASA, designed, manufactured and supplied the complete OTO tubemill line inAugust 2018. The OTO tube mill is equipped with an in-line tube galvanising system to achieve a long-lasting corrosive reduction that is essential in production of conduit tubes. The new plant is scheduled to start-up in early 2019. Fives is also a regular sponsor of charitable events organised by PEASA.
