EBS’ General Manager Joseph Chidiac said: “According to recent reports by the World Steel Association, steel demand in the Middle East and North Africa is expected to grow significantly, with forecasts predicting approx. 3.2 percent increase in 2024. This surge is largely due to expansive infrastructure projects and the region's economic resilience. At EBS, we are stepping up our efforts to meet this growing demand by expanding our capabilities and embracing cutting-edge technologies.”

The new contracts add to EBS's extensive portfolio of ongoing projects, which includes the Calcined Petroleum Coke Plant in Sohar, Oman, two aircraft hangars for Etihad Engineering at Abu Dhabi International Airport, and various factories and logistics centres across the region.
