Qatar Steel to rebuild plant in Jebel Ali to raise capacity

摘要

Qatar Steel Company (QSC) will start rebuilding its Dh500 million plant at Jebel Ali in Dubai in May. Marketing Director Mohammed Ahmed Al Sa'adi said the new plant will increase capacity to 600,000 tonnes per year. He said the factory will produce 300,000 tonnes of steel rolls and 300,000 tonnes of reinforcement steel. QSC bought the plant from an investment group in 2001 and recently closed it down to make way for the new factory. "The increase in demand for steel in the UAE and the region has prompted QSC to renovate its factory at a cost equal to the purchase price," Al Sa'adi told Emirates Business in an exclusive interview.
