ArcelorMittal Projects, operating in Sharjah, announced that it has decided to expand its investments in Hamriyah Free Zone. The company stated that it aims to increase its capacity in steel pipe manufacturing and specialised coating solutions through its third production facility, which is scheduled to become operational in 2026.
With the new plant to be built on a total area of 1.4 million square metres, the company’s total investment area within the free zone is expected to reach approximately 5 million square metres. The expansion is projected to respond to rising demand, particularly from energy and infrastructure projects.
The existing site currently includes two HSAW pipe production lines, two 18-metre external coating lines, and one internal coating line. In addition, automated ultrasonic testing (AUT), hydrostatic testing, and radiographic testing (RT) systems are in operation, along with a laboratory accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards.
Saud Salim Al Mazrouei, Director of Hamriyah Free Zone Authority, stated that the free zone has become an attractive hub for global companies thanks to its integrated industrial infrastructure and logistical advantages. He emphasised that the investment is aligned with the United Arab Emirates’ national strategies focused on industry and advanced technology, noting that the expansion will contribute to strengthening value chains in the energy and infrastructure sectors.
Johannes De Schrijver, CEO of ArcelorMittal Projects, said the investment forms part of the company’s long-term regional growth strategy. He noted that the capacity increase and infrastructure upgrades will enable the company to serve large-scale and technically complex projects more effectively.
