The company is also amongst the top three steel rebar mills operating 24x7 to serve the upcoming projects in the UAE.

According to Bhatia, Conares has constantly been evolving with the region. “The company’s growth has remained on a buoyant trajectory for three decades of its operations, helping it cross significant growth milestones in the steel industry. The company has set new benchmarks in the steel industry through its commitment to quality, excellence and service standards.”

Conares is in the process of developing new markets for its products.

The company also runs a state-of-art 12’’ pipe mill in Jebel Ali Free Zone. This plant made Conares achieve the milestone of 1.6 million tonnes capacity of steel production annually.
