NOVACERO es una sólida empresa ecuatoriana, pionera y líder en el mercado desde 1973, con la mejor experiencia en la creación, desarrollo e implementación de soluciones de acero para la construcción.
NOVACERO se fundó en julio de 1973, iniciándose como parte del grupo multinacional ARMCO, en el negocio de productos viales, con una planta industrial en Quito; para 1983 incorpora una segunda planta industrial en Lasso, a 15 Km de Latacunga-Cotopaxi, para la fabricación y comercialización de productos laminados en caliente (ángulos, platinas, barras y tees) y de productos conformados en frío (tuberías y perfiles).
En 1986 con diseños propios incursionó en el negocio de Cubiertas de Galvalume en el Ecuador. ARMCO en 1992 vendió sus operaciones en Ecuador al grupo suizo Eternit, y posteriormente en 1994, la compañía fue vendida a accionistas nacionales. Esta última transacción, fue decisiva para el creciemiento de la organización, pues empezaron a ejecutarse importantes inversiones en nuevas líneas y mejorar las ya existentes; en 1996, se inauguró una tercera planta industrial ubicada en la ciudad de Guayaquil, con el fin de tener mayor presencia en el mercado del Austro y de la Costa.
Hasta el año 2001 fuimos 2 empresas, llamadas una Novacero y otra Aceropaxi; a partir de Enero de ese año, ambas empresas se fusionan para formar una sola, con el nombre NOVACERO-ACEROPAXI S.A. En el 2005 empieza el creciemiento del negocio de los laminados en caliente, producto de esto la empresa pasa a llamarse NOVACERO S.A. por la incorporación de la varilla de construcción al portafolio de productos; con este propósito se adquirió un moderno tren de laminación, que junto a otras mejoras permitió acelerar el creciemiento de las ventas y una mayor participación de mercado.
En 2005, inició su camino hacia la eco-eficiencia, adoptando un cambio cultural empresarial y estableciendo las técnicas adecuadas para promoverlos.
