SAO PAULO, ‌Sept ​2 (Reuters) - ​Brazilian steelmaker CSN said on Wednesday that ‌Benjamin Steinbruch, a member ⁠of the family who controls ‌the company, is ‌leaving the position of chief executive officer he has ​held since 2002.

He will be replaced by ⁠Fabio Schvartsman, a former CEO of ​mining firm Vale, as of September 3, the steelmaker ​said in a ‌securities filing. Steinbruch was approved as ⁠chairman of the board of directors, it added.
