Solb Misr Integrated Steel Complex Project 18 th Middle East Iron & Steel Conference Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai, U.A.E 8-10 December 2014
Because Steel is a lifetime investment, we handle it from its roots. FROM ORE TO CORE
Solb Misr is an Egyptian steel company producing a wide range of steel by-products, semifinished, finished and downstream steel, in keeping with international standards. The company operates through an integrated steel complex that produces long steel products from iron ore and scrap. It is comprised of a Direct Reduction Plant, 2 melting shops and 4 rolling mills all located in the Suez industrial area. With a total nominal capacity of 2 million tons of semi-finished steel per year, Solb Misr s annual production includes 1.5 million MT of long finished products.

It is totally recycled and re-used in the plants The recycling of water reduces to zero the purchase of industrial water from the government. Hence, it creates independence water source. This is important in a desert environment. Knowing the scarcity of water in our region.
FUTURE METALLURGIC TRAINING CENTER SSC is planning to build a training center at the place of the old administration building. The center will be used towards the development of the company s human capacities through regular training and knowledge transfer. The center will also benefit the Egyptian steel industry since it will graduate knowledgeable workers that would add value to the industry and ultimately will reduce the cost of production.
GREEN SPACES SSC has erected plants which the aim to eliminate any potential environmental harm. The company deploys serious efforts towards eliminating the adverse impact of steel on the environment.
