The IRNA news agency reported that Iran’s most advanced steel ingot production plant came on stream on Monday in the southern province of Hormozgan.

The Hormozgan Steel Company has the initial production capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year. But, infrastructures have been provided for boosting the capacity to 3 million tonnes in a year.

The plant has been built by an Iranian-German consortium (IRITEC, SMS-DEMAG) and is second to none in terms of software systems as well as environment protection facilities.
