Our company is keen on advancing the national industry, especially the steel and iron sector, and expanding production in this important industry, which plays a significant role in supporting and developing the national economy and diversifying production. With our excellent service, logistical, technical, and financial capabilities, as well as supporting companies, we aim to enhance the financial and technical aspects of the Military Industrialization Authority, serving our beloved country by providing products related to the iron and steel industry. These products serve as raw materials for some industrial plants in Iraq, reducing imports, conserving hard currency, and providing employment opportunities. After obtaining your esteemed approval, our company will provide a comprehensive economic feasibility program, technical and professional courses, courses in management, contract law, electronic calculators, and electronic programs at our expense.
Our company renews its urgent desire to establish the Steel and Iron Complex, which includes the production of rebar in all its types, medium-section iron production in all its types, billets, and iron rolls, as well as the establishment of a sponge iron plant with a production capacity of up to five million tons annually for sponge iron (reduced iron). Sponge iron is a term used for iron reduced through direct reduction, called sponge due to the sponge-like internal composition resulting from partial oxygen extraction from iron oxides. The sponge iron content reaches about 98%, and it is considered an intermediary product in the iron and steel industry, entering electric arc furnaces as raw material, being smelted, and having some alloying elements like titanium, vanadium, and manganese added to impart the required mechanical properties to the steel. Our goal is to achieve a production capacity of up to five million tons annually (5,000,000 million tons), which will contribute to reducing the use of scrap in the iron and steel industry by more than 80%. It will also contribute to meeting the cement factories’ needs for this material, and it will be used in extraction operations to name oil wells.
The facilities of the complex include:
The Rolling Mill for Rebars and Rods (Reinforcement Iron)

A production line for various medium sections such as Shaliman, Saqiya, and angles
In various sizes to meet the significant increase in demand for these products witnessed by the local market.
Dust and Gas Purification Unit
One of the key points is the company’s commitment to environmental conditions and meeting the global production requirements in the iron and steel industry. This involves equipping and installing an integrated unit for dust and gas purification resulting from manufacturing operations in the steel plant, casting lines, and rolling mill to purify, recycle, and separate dust components, all in line with our company’s motto of modern, environmentally friendly industry.
Establishment of a power generation station
With a production capacity of up to 500 megawatts to meet the industrial complex’s electricity needs and reduce reliance on the national grid to ensure uninterrupted production under various conditions due to the fluctuations in national grid power production. Additionally, the plant will be equipped with an advanced secondary power station and SVC station, along with power transmission lines from the power station to the plant. The secondary power station and SVC station will distribute electricity to the entire complex through substation distribution stations located in various areas inside and outside the iron and steel complex. The station will work to stabilize and balance the electrical grid at all production stages.
The control room for production operations
The company’s facilities and factories must be fully automated, with production operations being controlled through control rooms that oversee all stages of production and integrate them for coordination, guidance, and quality control.
Water supply and treatment stations
This unit aims to supply the factory with sufficient quantities of water needed for all production lines, as well as treating the resulting water used in manufacturing processes and recycling it at a rate exceeding 90% for reuse in manufacturing operations. This saves a lot of the required water resources in multiple production processes.
Yards, warehouses, and transportation lines
Allocation of yards and multiple buildings for storing and restocking raw materials used in the production processes, including scrapyards for scrap metal, warehouses for direct reduced iron and classified scrap, storage facilities for pure metals added during smelting processes, and other yards for storing semi-finished products and distributing them among the company’s factories. Additionally, there are storage areas for the final products, culminating in truck loading areas for transporting the products off-site.
The laboratories
Quality control operations are conducted at all stages of production through two laboratories equipped with the latest devices to ensure product quality and compliance with internationally approved specifications. The first laboratory examines the molten metal, while the second specializes in inspecting the final product at various stages.
