Leading UAE steel pipe manufacturer and exporter, AJ Steel, has signed an agreement with the integrated trade, logistics, and industrial hub of Abu Dhabi, Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi – Kezad Group, for the development and operation of a large-scale steel pipe production facility in Abu Dhabi, to meet growing demand.

Under the agreement, AJ Steel will expand its current operations in Kezad through the development of a plot covering close to 96,000 sq m, which will bring its total to 200,000 sq m of leased land under industrial use.
