DUBAI, Jul 26 (NNN-WAM) – The KEZAD Group of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the Oman-based Al Jazeera Steel Products Co., jointly launched the region’s first rolling mill with rail production capability in Abu Dhabi.
The establishment of the mill, over an area of 210,000 square metres in Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Economic Zones, aims to spearhead technological advancements, enhance steel manufacturing capabilities, and meet the growing demand for high-quality steel products, said the report.
The state-of-the-art mill, with a capacity of 450,000 tonnes per annum, will also produce railway steel parts, as the region plans to build a GCC rail network to connect UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.
