A Brief on EAFab Corporation

In 2006, EAFab Corporation was founded with a clear and ambitious vision: to reshape and elevate the service standards within the steel industry. Located strategically in Pittsburgh, PA, often referred to as the steel city, EAFab combines the depth of over six decades of collective experience. This blend allows us to extend a comprehensive array of engineering and fabrication solutions for all steel melting, secondary metallurgy, and off-gas system needs.


The Labor Mission North American Tour

In a bid to foster international collaborations and learn from the best practices globally, the Secretariat of Labor of the Nuevo León state government embarked on an ambitious journey dubbed "Misión Laboral 2023." This initiative commenced with a work tour spanning various cities and businesses in the United States and Canada. It is an absolute honor that EAFab was chosen amongst many other prominent North American companies and corporations for the itinerary.


Mutual Learning Journey

Jesse Quiroga leads a delegation on an informative tour of the manufacturing facility, providing insights into the intricacies of the production process.

Throughout the visit with EAFab’s technical and administrative staff, a deep dive into the solutions that we were founded upon quickly became a dynamic exchange of best practices from different industries and countries, enriching a collaborative experience for all parties.

While introducing our key product, the innovation of the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), and the global impacts the steel industry has had on our planet, we also shared our commitment to eco-friendly practices, sustainability, and environmental responsibility. Our discourse then went on to describe our community engagement initiatives and our pledge to spark interest in steel careers among younger generations and continue sustained growth in our sector.

The visit facilitated a vibrant exchange of ideas, with discussions revolving around the potential avenues for optimizing operations, and the delegation’s own experiences and insights about the topics. This highlights our dedication to not just excelling in the industry but also contributing to the bigger picture, ensuring growth, safety, and a more sustainable future.
