José Tinoco

José Tinoco doesn’t speculate about metals markets — he builds the supply backbone behind them. With more than two decades across smelter operations, raw-materials trading, and R&D leadership, he operates where chemistry meets contracts and margins are defined.

José has structured sourcing strategies for over a million tonnes per year, negotiated complex feedstock agreements, and aligned technical constraints with commercial reality. Today at Stegra, he is securing the raw-materials framework for a new industrial build-out — where ferroalloy quality, carbon-cost exposure, and geopolitical risk are not only concepts, but economic realities.
