Mining News -Located in the southern province of Khuzesta, Oxin Steel is Iran’s biggest producer of heavy plates and has a capacity of 1 million tons per year. It also has a direct-reduction iron plant and a slab mill, each with a capacity of 1 million tons per year.

But in recent years, Oxin Steel’s slab capacity has been idled because plate production required a special quality of slab that could not be produced at the site.

As a result, Oxin Steel was purchasing slabs from Khouzestan Steel as well as importing them from Asia.
