Farrokh Shahr Steel, a rolling mill with an annual capacity of 150,000 mt of tinplate, was officially inaugurated by Iranian vice president Mohammad Reza Rahimi recently.

The rolling mill, which uses CRC sourced from Mobarakeh Steel as well as from other local and foreign sources as feedstock, mainly targets the local market. The mill is located on a site of 50 hectares close to Farrokh Shahr city in the province of Chahar Mahal-e-Bakhtiyari. An investment of about $48 million has been spent on the project and about 250 persons will be employed at the plant when it operates at full capacity.
