Steel Industries’ Structural Steel Business Unit (SSBU) expands
product base
Posted: 31 March 2004
Zamil Steel Industries’ Structural Steel Business Unit (SSBU)
has purchased new machinery to facilitate its plans to expand and
diversify its product base. Its new Stierli-Richtpresse 2000 RP
machine — Swedish technology — is used to bend not only
small size pipes, “I”, “H” and “C”
section beams, but also giant sized beams into any curve or shape
required.
The result is the ability to create an artistic look for a building,
shopping mall or any other commercial complex.
“At Zamil Steel, we continuously strive to find the latest
methods, technology and equipment to ensure the highest levels of
productivity, quality and delivery,” said Mr. Ayman Kanaan,
General Manager of Zamil Steel’s Structural Steel Business
Unit. “This latest addition will enable the delivery of value
added steel solutions for our customers.”
Zamil Steel’s SSBU has been awarded the contract to architecturally
shape steel beams for the Yamama Castle Project for Saudi Oger in
Riyadh.
Through superior performance, Zamil Steel’s SSBU has built
value for its customers as well as its employees. The company strives
as a team of exceptional people to consistently exceed customer
expectations every day.
