what happened
Embosal, a steel tube and pipe maker from Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE, has said it will build a 1.2 million tonne hot-rolled steel coil plant, according to Reuters. The mill is being set up for sister company Core Metal in Sharjah, which handles trading, importing and distribution of structural steel, aluminium and stainless products across the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The facility will cover the full steelmaking chain, from scrap melting and slab production to reheating and hot rolling. Start-up is expected by the end of 2027. The company describes the project as green steel, with projected emissions of 0.9 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of output.
why it matters
For markets this is a longer-term capacity story rather than a near-term price driver. If the plant reaches its planned output, the region would gain more domestic hot-rolled supply for pipe and structural producers. The 2027 start date leaves plenty of time for plans to change, so market participants may want to track construction progress.
