Steel Industry Overview
A rapid industrialization worldwide, and increasing standard of living all over the world has been driving the demand for steel. Though lately, we have seen hick-ups because of the financial crunch worldwide, this certainly is going to be a short-term phenomena and we still see a sustained growth in steel consumption in the years to come. We all have witnessed that in every part of the world, transport networks are being expanded to meet the requirement for growth in urban and semi urban areas.

The availability and reliability of modern communication system have also accelerated the pace of growth. As urban economies are becoming more and more sophisticated, around 5billion people are expected to be urban dwellers by 2030, which would be almost 60% of the total world population. This, evidently, will place a huge pressure on the existing infrastructure and create a tremendous demand for energy, housing, better transport system, communication networks, sanitation and health care, etc.

According to the statistics for 2008, the world crude steel production stands at around 1.3 billion tons, wherein Pakistan’s share is only 0.24 percent. This speaks volumes of a huge potential of investment and growth opportunity in the steel sector of Pakistan.

We endeavor to be a respected world-class organization and the leader in Pakistan’s steel industry by:

Fostering teamwork
Delivering premium products & services
Nurturing talent
Developing solutions based on cutting-edge technologies
