COVID-19

Action plan

The Techint Group companies have developed a comprehensive plan to manage the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak around the world. The health and safety of their people and service to their customers remain a priority. This page will be continuously updated to provide information about the response to this rapidly evolving situation.

Support for communities

Establishing strong ties with the communities in which we operate has been a core value for the Techint Group throughout our history. This has been done with the conviction that the sustainable growth of our industrial project is only possible through the development and progress of the communities where we live and work.

In order to support our communities against the advance of COVID-19, in 2020 the Techint Group companies launched USD 16.2 million in funding to be put towards bolstering healthcare structures in the communities where they operate in countries such as Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Italy, Romania, the US and Canada.
