Bahrain: Harsco’s Metals & Minerals division has renewed a multi-year services contract with Sulb Company, a manufacturer of multi-sized angles and beams in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. Harsco will provide slag management, raw material and finished product handling, and other services to Sulb’s fully integrated Al-Hidd plant. Harsco has provided onsite steel plant services to Sulb in Bahrain since 2012 for its direct reduced iron (DRI) plant, melt shop and rolling mills.
“This renewal signals our ability to serve our existing customers, and further distinguishes us from our competition as we continue this growth phase. Harsco maintains a market-leading position in the Middle East and Africa region, and this renewal reflects our customers’ confidence and trust in our long-standing commitments to quality, safety and employee care,” said Harsco Metals & Minerals Chief Operating Officer (CEO) Chris Whistler.
Sulb is a joint venture between Foulath and Japan-based Yamato Kogyo. Sulb has two industrial sites, one in Saudi Arabia and one in Bahrain. Sulb’s Bahrain-based facility, which is situated in Al-Hidd Industrial Area, consists of a DRI plant, a melt shop and a Heavy & Medium Section rolling mill.
