COMPANY HISTORY

How We Started


ASIL was formed in 2010 as an AOP (Association of Persons). In November 2013, a private limited company was incorporated and converted into a public limited company in April 2015. In November 2020, the Company was listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange.

The groundbreaking of the manufacturing plant site was started in 2010, while the plant started its commercial operations in 2012. The manufacturing plant is spread over an area of about 10 acres, with a total occupied area of 48,400 square yards. In June 2017, Company acquired a further 17 Acres of land, adjacent to its existing facility. The combined area for this futuristic manufacturing facility now stands at 130,680 square yards.

Since the start of the commercial operations, the Company has been continuously witnessing steady growth in all major areas such as the production capacity, the customer base and the revenue stream. This healthy growth trend has been the result of the Company’s continuous product and market development efforts, which has enabled the Company to attain a diversified clientele-both from the Public and the Private sectors.

Why Agha Steel?

The Art Of Asal Steel-Making

Agha Steel is the only company in Pakistan possessing an Electric Arc Furnace with Eccentric Bottom Tapping Technology, a globally recognized steel-making process. Built with inherent high efficiency, allowing us to solely produce a variety of grades of steel that is not only superior but unmatched in quality, strength, resilience and bonding capabilities.

Compared to other companies in Pakistan, who have an outdated and globally banned induction furnace (steel melting technology), the Electric Arc Furnace uses multiple types of scrap (shredded, DRI, LMS, HMS, HBI, pig iron etc.) to produce 100% refined Steel. The main advantage of DRI usage is to dilute the Cu & Sn; which is not possible with an induction furnace.

EAF technology also has the provision to eliminate unwanted content (through Decarbonization & Dephosphorization) in steel that makes it weaker with the passage of time; producing 100% Refined Steel Rebars that withstands the test of time.

In addition, Tramp & Trace elements are better controlled in an Electric Arc Furnace, also the batch/heat capacity of Agha Steel is highest among its competitors that is 45-50 MT/batch.

An Exclusive Ladle Refining Furnace Technology

At Agha Steel Electric Arc Furnace is coupled with Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF), which initiates a secondary metallurgy process to remove the sulphur from molten steel. LRF also helps to remove non-metallic inclusion such as oxides, sulfides, nitrides etc. and precisely controls the chemistry of the molten metal through an allowing system, enabling the steel to reach the perfect oxygen ppm according to required grades and eliminates silicon as well; ensuring every Steel Bar produced by Agha Steel is 100% ASAL, every time.
