To ensure the reactivation of the industrial complex, the assets will be sold as a single productive unit with a minimum legal bid of approximately 1,127 million USD. The winning bidder must submit an industrial reactivation plan within five months of the sale. Coahuila Governor Manolo Jiménez Salinas has requested federal support to mitigate the economic and social crisis in the Monclova and Carbonífera regions, noting discussions with President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. In response to the situation, workers and civil society groups organized a mobilization in Monclova for September 19. By mid-September, the Second District Court in Bankruptcy Matters confirmed six qualified bidders for the auction: Argentem Creek Partners, CIESA, Yepal, Lance Internacional/Grupo Metals-Mex, Trust Empresarial Mexicano, and Octavio Pous Escalante. While the diversity of bidders offers hope for the region, local business leaders emphasize that the priority remains finding a buyer with the technical capacity to reactivate furnaces and restore local jobs. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-13: AHMSA and MINOSA auction sees six qualified bidders Six qualified bidders have been confirmed for the September 25 auction of AHMSA and MINOSA, offering hope for industrial reactivation in Monclova, Mexico. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ahmsa-and-minosa-auction-sees-six-qualified-bidders ### 2026-09-07: AHMSA and Minosa assets scheduled for auction on September 25 The auction of AHMSA and Minosa assets is set for September 25 in Mexico City.
