Com o início da operação da Usiminas, em 1962, vários setores da economia da região foram estimulados ao desenvolvimento. No segmento de gêneros para consumo, a Empresa apoiou a iniciativa de um grupo de seus funcionários que se uniram para formar uma cooperativa. Desta maneira, comprometida com a melhoria da qualidade de vida da comunidade, em 1963, nascia a CONSUL. Quando foi constituída, a Cooperativa atendia somente aos funcionários da Usiminas. Foram instaladas várias lojas em vários bairros da cidade de Ipatinga levando aos consumidores produtos com preços justos, qualidade e variedade, o que facilitava a compra de mercadorias para o consumo diário. Com a crescente demanda do público e sempre pensando em se desenvolver no mercado cada vez mais competitivo, em 1993, a CONSUL passou a operar como cooperativa de regime aberto. Essa alteração possibilitou aos interessados tornarem-se sócios e usufruírem dos benefícios e facilidades de compra disponibilizados pela CONSUL. Em 1998 foi inaugurado o Shopping do Vale do Aço. Sua loja âncora é a CONSUL, com 4.800 m2 de área de vendas, ambiente climatizado, infra-estrutura de ponta e avançada tecnologia. A Cooperativa se destacou no mercado varejista da região pela arrojada estratégia e pelo empreendedorismo de sua equipe. Ao aceitar este desafio, selava-se o destino de sucesso da CONSUL. Em 2007, a CONSUL está ampliando e modernizando o layout de seus estabelecimentos. A Cooperativa entende que as instalações devem sempre ser renovadas e inovadas acompanhando tendências do segmento. Essa diretriz faz parte do perfil das empresas que almejam o permanente crescimento e a satisfação plena de seus clientes.
