Production operations at Iranian steelmaker Boyerahmad Steel Complex have been halted since February this year due to the low price of billet in the local market.
Officially inaugurated in July 2008, this mini-mill has a nominal annual capacity of 120,000 mt per year of billet and bloom but had been focusing exclusively on billet production
Boyerahmad Steel, located 20 km west of the southwestern Iranian city of Yasouj, was one of the few privately-owned mini-mills with annual capacity of over 100,000 mt producing billet in Iran.
