Iraqi company Muhaj Baghdad has entered into an agreement with Italian plantmaker Danieli for the construction of a new thermo-mechanical treatment (TMT) rolling mill for Muhaj Baghdad with an annual capacity of 500,000 mt.
The new plant will be built in the industrial area of Al-Hilla, near Baghdad, to produce high quality rebar in 10-40 mm diameters, using Danieli’s special high-speed rolling technology.
The mill layout is designed with provision for a future wire rod line. Through this investment Muhaj Baghdad will become a key player in Iraq's TMT bar market and increase its profits.
The new high-speed mill is expected to start operations late in the third quarter of 2025.
