Votorantim Metais is among the top ten of the largest zinc producers in the world and it is the biggest producer of nickel in Latin America and the third largest Brazilian producer of iron. There are eight industrial units and four mines in Brazil, located at São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Goiás.

At Fortaleza, the Minas-MG unit produces 10 thousand ton of nickel and 120 thousand ton of sulfuric acid per year. It has adopted an RFID system from ACURA to protect the workers inside the mines.
