Emirates Steel Establishment (Unit I), the first of its kind in the UAE to manufacture Steel Ingots, was established in 1998 as a feeder unit for Gulf Steel Industries Co. Ltd. The ingots are manufactured from steel scrap which is melted in an Induction Furnace. Experienced and very competent personnel and a modern chemical laboratory ensure strict quality control. This unit has an installed capacity of 20,000 TPA.

The success of the first unit resulted in the establishment of a more technologically advanced unit with an installed capacity of 40,000 TPA in Unit II. Ingot casting was replaced by continuous casting, and a Spectrometer has been added for chemical analysis. These improvements delivered better yield and superior cast structure, and also ensured stricter quality control.

The excellent performance of both units has now resulted in the setting-up of a third mega unit slated to produce 250,000 TPA of Steel Billets in a high-tech Electric Arc Furnace / Ladle Furnace / Concast Unit that would not only melt the scrap but refines the material as well. The plant will have capability to produce special alloy steel billets too.
