Overview
- A federal district judge issued an order dated June 2, 2026 that formally authorizes the auction of Altos Hornos de México (AHMSA) and Minera del Norte (Minosa) under a single 'Unidad Productiva' to avoid breaking up assets.
- The judge validated a revised sale proposal from trustee Víctor Manuel Aguilera Gómez but imposed a definitive three legal‑day deadline for the trustee to complete key tasks before the auction can proceed.
- The trustee must publish the final bases that will govern the auction so bidders know the rules to buy the operating unit intact rather than buying individual assets.
- The trustee must also present a final list of workers with a clear breakdown of which labor claims are legally preferred and a calculated concursal quota that shows how sale proceeds will be distributed to creditors.
- The court framed the measure as a way to resolve accumulated debts while protecting the industrial structure and jobs in Coahuila, and the next step to watch is whether the trustee meets the three‑day deadline to trigger the sale process.
