History

edit

Amreli Steels was founded in 1972 by Abbas Akberali and is named after Amreli District, Gujarat, India from where their ancestors migrated to Pakistan.[4][5]

As of 2013, Amreli's production capacity was estimated to be 150,000 tonnes,[1] which by 2017 had increased to 180,000 tonnes.[6][7]

In 2018, Amreli established a new production facility in Dhabeji with a 400,000 tonnes capacity.[8][9] A strategic goal of the firm has been to be the first Pakistani company to reach annual production of 1 million tonnes of rebar product.[10]

Amreli transitioned from a private to public firm in 2015, when it was listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange following an initial public offering in October 2015.[6][7]
