Fundidora Monterrey limited itself to making steel bars, rods, rails, wire, and structural profiles until 1956, when it opened Aceros Planos, which quickly became the mainstay of its production.
1972: IMSA adds steel and plastic construction panels to its line of products.
In 1978, the steel- and plastic-strapping business was incorporated into IMSA Signode, S.A. de C.V., a joint venture between IMSA and the Signode Division of Illinois Tool Works, Inc.

During 1997, Grupo IMSA spent $12.1 million to buy Guatemala-based Industria Galvanizadora, S.A. (Ingasa), the largest producer of galvanized steel in the fast-growing Central American market.
In 2000, Stabilit formed a joint venture with Bayer AG to produce, distribute, and market polycarbonate plastic sheets, a product not manufactured in Mexico before.
