Iraqi company Muhaj Baghdad has awarded Italy's Danieli the contract to build a new rolling mill plant for rebar production.The plant will be located in the industrial area of Al-Hilla near Baghdad and will have a capacity of 500,000 tons per year.According to a statement from Danieli, the plant will utilize Danieli's special high-speed rolling technology to produce quality rebar in diameters ranging from 10 to 40 mm. It will feature a combination of 12 horizontal-vertical housingless stands and a six-pass, fast-finishing block for efficient production.The rolling mill will incorporate multidrive technology and Danieli Morgårdshammar bar guiding systems to achieve high-speed rolling, tight tolerances, and superior surface finish. In-line heat treatment using a Danieli "QTB" quenching system will be employed to meet international standards for Thermo-Mechanical Treated (TMT) bars.Danieli will supply equipment, Danieli Automation L1 automation systems, and provide advisory services for installation, plant startup, and training.The mill layout has been designed to accommodate a future wirerod line, indicating potential for expansion beyond rebar production.Muhaj Baghdad aims to become a key player in Iraq's TMT bar market through this investment. The new high-speed mill is expected to commence operations in late Q3 2025. (ICE AMMAN)
