AJ Steel, a leading UAE steel pipe manufacturer and exporter, has signed an agreement with Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi - KEZAD Group for the development and operation of a large-scale steel pipe production facility in Abu Dhabi to fulfill rising customer demand.

According to the agreement, AJ Steel will extend its present activities in KEZAD by developing a plot covering over 96,000 square meters, bringing its total leased land under industrial use to 200,000 square meters.

The agreement, which took place during ADIPEC 2022, comes on the heels of AJ Steel's recent launch of a new production line at its factory in KEZAD. It intends to increase its capacity from 0.5 million tonnes to 1.25 million tonnes by adding API-compliant steel pipe capabilities ranging from 1/2" to 20" for oil and gas applications. AJ Steel uses cutting-edge machinery and technology to provide high-quality production that meets the severe standards of clients in the GCC, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia.
