The UAE's steel industry is anchored by Emirates Steel, part of the EMSTEEL Group, which reports an annual steel production capacity of 3.5 million tonnes, a share of more than 60% of the UAE rebar market and exports to over 70 markets. Founded in 1998, it grew from a re-roller of imported billets into an integrated steel producer making rebar, wire rod, heavy sections and sheet piles. Around it, industrial areas such as Al Quoz and Industrial Area 3 in Dubai, Sharjah's Industrial Areas 10 and 11, Mussafah in Abu Dhabi, Jebel Ali, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah host mills, pipe and tube makers, wire manufacturers and structural steel plants. This directory lists 158 verified steel mill and steel industry companies so buyers can compare and contact producers directly.
A steel mill is an industrial plant that makes steel or converts semi-finished steel such as billets, blooms and coils into finished products through melting, casting, rolling, drawing or forming. Integrated mills produce steel from iron ore or direct reduced iron (DRI) using electric arc furnaces, while re-rolling mills buy billets and roll them into rebar and sections. In directory terms, the category also includes steel product manufacturers, fabricators and suppliers that work in the mill supply chain, so always confirm each company's actual production scope.
Integrated mills run DRI, steelmaking and rolling in one complex and supply billets, rebar, wire rod and heavy sections. The Emirates Steel company profile describes an Abu Dhabi plant producing DRI, billets, rebar, wire rod, sections and sheet piles.
Rebar mills roll reinforcing bars for concrete. Bars are supplied to standards such as BS 4449:2005+A3:2016 (typically Grade B500B), ASTM A615/A615M and ISO 6935-2, all recognised in Dubai Central Laboratory rebar certification. Al Bahri Steel Industry in Al Quoz, Dubai, is listed in this category and also under Steel Bars Manufacturing and Metal Wires Manufacturing.
Tube and pipe mills form steel coil and strip into pipes and tubes for construction, water, oil and gas and structural uses. Ajman Steel Tubes & Pipes Ind LLC in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, is listed in the directory.
Structural steel plants produce beams, columns and fabricated frames for buildings, warehouses and industrial projects. Al Laith Structural Steel Manufacturing (Industrial Area 3, Dubai) and Al Rostamani Eurogulf Steel Industries LLC (Al Quoz, Dubai) are among the companies listed.
