Qatar Steel focuses on country’s economic development: Official

By supplying high-quality rebar products used in construction projects in the country, Qatar Steel has the opportunity to contribute to Qatar’s economic development in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030, an official has said.
Qatar Steel managing director and general manager Ali bin Hassan al-Muraikhi said Qatar is witnessing the implementation of mega infrastructure projects, including those in the commercial, housing, and industrial sector, as well as many expansion projects related to the FIFA World Cup in 2022.  
Al-Muraikhi stressed that as a national leading steel producer, Qatar Steel participated in the recently-held Project Qatar 2016 “due to its strategic importance.”
“The event provided a good opportunity for Qatar Steel to meet and contact representatives of construction companies, exchange expertise and new ideas, and to keep abreast with the latest construction equipment and technologies used in this vital sector,” he explained.
“Qatar Steel is committed to achieving sustainable development and is constantly striving to achieve growth and sustainable steel industry. Steel rebar is considered as the backbone of construction and building projects, and we are working hard to preserve the environment and reduce the impacts of our manufacturing operations on the environment by using modern and eco-friendly technology,” he noted.
By participating in Project Qatar 2016, al-Muraikhi Qatar Steel “shall build long-term business and partnership relations.” He added that the Qatar Steel stand, characterised by an attractive design derived from Qatar’s original heritage, attracted many visitors during the exhibition.
Qatar Steel was established in 1974 as the first integrated steel plant in the Arabian Gulf. The commercial production started in 1978, with the company becoming wholly-owned by Industries Qatar in 2003. 
Today, Qatar Steel is widely-recognised as a foremost leader in the steel industry and due to its high-quality products and distinguished customer service it has gained an “outstanding reputation” in local and regional markets.
