Abul Khair Steel has contracted Danieli to modernise the rebar mill at Chittagong, in Bangladesh.
The scope of the supply covers the design and installation of new lines and the integration of automation systems with process controls, plus the revamping of the existing rolling mill configuration and finishing facilities.
The project aims to expand Abul Khair’s product portfolio to give it full flexibility, supporting customers as a single-point supplier for all product types.
Danieli highlighted that the new line will produce a wide range of low-alloy and special steel grades, covering a range of wirerod products ranging from 4.5mm to 25mm diameters, with a maximum steady rolling speed of 110m/s.
Execution of the project will be carried out through different phases to minimise shutdown time, ensuring integration with existing equipment and planned operations.
The upgraded line is scheduled to start operation in the second half of 2026.
