About Qatar Steel
Founded in 1974 and formerly known as Qasco, Qatar Steel Company was the Gulf region's first integrated steel plant. It began commercial steel production in 1978 and it became wholly owned by the Government of Qatar in 1997.
Its Qatar-based mill is located in Mesaieed Industrial City, south of Doha and its facilities in Dubai, formed in 2003, and a subsidiary of the parent company Qatar Steel Company is situated in the Jebel Ali Free Zone near Dubai. In an effort to meet the growing demand for steel in Qatar and across the Gulf region, Qatar Steel is making huge strides in steel production. Its technically advanced expansion projects have been designed to produce world class products and help make Qatar Steel's presence felt on the steel map of the world.

Consistent with its pride in quality assurance its reinforcing bars produced in Mesaieed and Dubai have received several quality accreditations recognised by the industry, including UK CARES certification.

Its Mesaieed plant houses state of the art facilities including Midrex process based DRI/HBI Combo Mega Module, Electric Arc Furnaces, a continuous casting plant and rolling mills with the latest in automated features, well-equipped jetty and Quality Control laboratories.

Today the plant occupies an area of 707,000 square meters with a further area of 375,000 square meters already reserved for future development and expansion. Qatar Steel employs a total workforce of around 1,650 people, comprising 12 nationalities, with plant shifts operating on a three-shift system.

Both Qatar and Dubai facilities are operating under the umbrella of the same corporate brand identity as Qatar Steel and QASCO DUBAI STEEL FZE is now known as Qatar Steel Company FZE.
