KARACHI: South Korea Consul General Chang-Hee Lee has said that Korea’s expertise in the steel sector will come in handy for Pakistan as the country extends a helping hand to Pakistan.
Lee said this during his visit to Agha Steel Industries in Karachi, one of the largest steel mills in Pakistan, and was accompanied by Posco Resident Director, Young-Ho Yoo. The visiting delegation appreciated the system and quality implemented at Agha Steel Industries to produce quality steel rebars and wire rods.
“I am impressed by the quality of steel Agha Steel Mill produces by utilising the most efficient computerised systems,” said Lee. He stressed the need for both countries to cooperate in order to develop Pakistan’s promising steel industry so it can play a constructive role in building a brighter future for Pakistan.
Yoo said that under the difficult steel infrastructure conditions of Pakistan, Agha Steel’s achievement was impressive.
“The quality conscious production policy of Agha Steel will contribute to the industrial development of Pakistan,” said Yoo, while adding that Posco is among the most competitive steel producer of the world with a well-recognised reputation for its quality products.
He said that Posco aimed to develop Pakistan’s infrastructure and Agha Steel Industries would play a critical role in supplying quality steel rebars as they are the only manufacturers in Pakistan to make quality steel by using the latest electric arc furnace technology.
Agha Steel Industries Executive Director Hussain Agha said that Pakistan’s steel consumption growth was imminent and being one of the largest steel manufactures in Pakistan, it was the company’s responsibility to maintain high quality standards of steel industry.
“Posco and Agha Steel’s future is intertwined in Pakistan and we are hopeful to collaborate with them on many of their upcoming projects,” added Agha.
