Officially Launches Investment Promotion for 400,000 tpa

Our Company Completes In‑Depth Market Research in Kazakhstan, Officially Launches Investment Promotion for 400,000 tpa Reduced Iron Project
— Project Located Close to Uzbekistan, Tapping into Central Asia’s 2‑4 Million Tonne Steel Deficit

Shijiazhuang, China – July 2026

In early July 2026, our company successfully completed a dedicated market visit and in‑depth research in Kazakhstan. Based on the findings, we are now pleased to announce globally the investment promotion for a 400,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) reduced iron project in Kazakhstan (covering beneficiation, pelletizing, and rotary‑kiln direct reduced iron), and sincerely invite investors interested in the Central Asian market to join us.

I. Central Asian Market: Strong Demand with a Significant Deficit

The Central Asian region is witnessing robust growth in steel consumption. According to official statistics from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other countries, as well as international forecasts, Central Asia’s apparent steel consumption in 2025 is estimated at 11.5‑12.5 million tonnes, with an annual growth rate of about 5%‑6.5%. Kazakhstan accounts for approximately 9.5‑10.0 million tonnes and Uzbekistan for about 5.5‑6.0 million tonnes.

In Uzbekistan, domestic capacity falls far short of demand – about 60% of its steel products are imported, and the import dependence for high‑end castings is as high as 75%. And No Iron making plant at all. By 2026, Uzbekistan’s metal demand is projected to reach approximately 6 million tonnes. The Uzbek government has prioritised “developing local manufacturing” as a national strategy, aiming to raise steel production capacity to over 5 million tonnes by 2030. A conservative estimate puts the current steel deficit in Uzbekistan at 2‑4 million tonnes, which creates enormous market opportunities for reduced iron and downstream steel products.

II. Project Advantages: All Conditions Met and Ready to Start

This 400,000 tpa reduced iron project (covering the full chain of beneficiation, pelletizing, and rotary‑kiln direct reduced iron) offers the following key advantages:

• Strategic Location: The project is situated in Kazakhstan, very close to Uzbekistan, enabling rapid coverage of the Uzbek market and the broader Central Asian region with significant logistics cost advantages.

• Complete Mining Rights: The project possesses full mining licenses, ensuring a stable and long‑term supply of raw materials.

• Land Security: 120 hectares of industrial land have been legally acquired, sufficient for beneficiation, pelletizing, reduced iron production, and future expansion.

• Downstream Integration: A steelmaking workshop is already built and ready, allowing reduced iron to be converted directly into steel on site, shortening the investment return cycle.

• Shovel‑Ready: All administrative approvals and permits are in place, and construction can commence at any time.

III. Technical Expertise: World‑Class and Cost‑Effective

Our company possesses world‑leading process technologies and extensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) experience in beneficiation, pelletizing, and rotary‑kiln direct reduced iron.

• Advanced Technology: With years of deep involvement in the direct reduced iron sector, we have mastered core rotary‑kiln DRI technologies and successfully executed numerous large‑scale domestic and international metallurgical projects.

• In‑House Manufacturing: Leveraging our strong equipment fabrication capabilities, we can manufacture 80%‑90% of the equipment in‑house, fundamentally ensuring quality, shortening delivery schedules, and effectively controlling project costs.

• Full‑Service Offering: From pre‑feasibility studies, engineering design, equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning, to operations and maintenance, we provide one‑stop EPC turnkey solutions, giving investors peace of mind.

IV. Investment Invitation

We sincerely invite forward‑looking investors, steel enterprises, and industrial funds worldwide to discuss cooperation. Whether you are a steelmaker seeking upstream raw material security or an investment institution eyeing the Central Asian market, this project represents a strategic opportunity to establish your presence in this emerging market.

Welcome to visit our company for factory tours and on‑site inspections!

Flexible cooperation models are available. For further details, please do not hesitate to contact us.
