The latest reports from the World Steel Association, released this month, revealed that Ezz Steel has topped the list of the largest steel producers in the Arab world and Africa, with a production of 6.4 million tons of crude steel in 2024, achieving the highest production in the company’s history. This surpasses the largest Saudi company (Hadeed) which produced 5.4 million tons in 2024, and the largest steel company in South Africa (ArcelorMittal) with a total production of 2.6 million tons.
Ezz Steel has advanced two positions from its ranking in 2023, now occupying the 62nd position globally among 760 steel companies worldwide, thus becoming part of the top 10% of global steel companies.
Globally, Ezz Steel has also surpassed many global companies in Japan, several European countries, Turkey, Russia, and Brazil, outperforming Japan’s Kobe Steel (with a production of 6.1 million tons), Spain’s Celsa (5.7 million tons), and Russia’s TMK (4.6 million tons).
The report also showed that Ezz Steel surpassed Turkey’s Habas Group (3.8 million tons), Ukraine’s Metinvest (3.5 million tons), and Brazil’s Usinas (3.2 million tons).
Ezz Steel’s total production capacity is approximately 7 million tons annually, distributed between 4.7 million tons of rebar and 2.3 million tons of hot-rolled flat products, through integrated production operations.
It is worth noting that Engineer Ahmed Ezz, Chairman of the company, was recently elected as the Chairman of the Arab Iron and Steel Union for the term 2025–2029, during the elections held last May in Nouakchott, Mauritania.
