Foolad Alborz Company
Foolad Alborz Iranian Company (FAICO) is a private Iranian producer of hot-rolled rebar and structural steel sections, including beams, channels and angles. Its reported main facility is near Sari in Mazandaran Province, rather than Karaj as previously stated on this page. The principal constraint is identity clarity: a separate Karaj-based steel entity, Pardazesh Foolad Farayand Alborz, may have contributed to the original profile’s location and scope confusion.
Market position
FAICO is positioned as a producer of hot-rolled long and structural steel products for construction and industrial use, with a reported range spanning rebar, beams, channels and angles. Capacity figures include 1.5 million tonnes per year of various steel sections, 700,000 tonnes per year of rebar and 300,000 tonnes per year of beams; these are capacity claims rather than verified production volumes. The company also reports exports of steel sections.
Operations & footprint
Products and services
Foolad Alborz Company is treated as a private steel-products profile connected to rebar, industrial steel sections, beams, angles, channels, rolled steel materials, and distribution of construction and industrial steel products. Its activity is linked to Alborz Province's construction materials market, steel trading networks, and regional supply chains around Karaj.
Operations and assets
Operating assets include two hot-rolling plants, each stated at 750,000 tonnes per year, and a continuous section mill reported at 500,000 tonnes per year. A new continuous section mill was reported as commissioned, but the relationship between these stated capacities and the reported 1.5 million-tonne total is not fully clear. The status of a previously announced electric-arc-furnace project remains unclear.
Geographic footprint
FAICO’s reported main facility is near Sari, Mazandaran Province. Its position on the Sari–Mashhad road is described as providing access to domestic and international markets; evidence also indicates exports of steel sections, without identifying destination markets.
Commercial and investment relevance
Foolad Alborz is relevant for investors assessing smaller private steel suppliers, construction-material distribution, regional steel demand, and the fragmented layer below Iran's large listed steelmakers. It can support analysis of how rebar, sections, beams, and industrial steel products move through local markets around Karaj and Tehran. Due diligence should verify the exact legal entity, factory or warehouse footprint, website, product range, production versus trading role, customer base, commodity exchange exposure, and financial scale before treating it as a manufacturer. The company’s mix of reinforcing bar and structural sections makes it relevant to procurement for construction and industrial steel applications. Buyers should validate current specifications, available rolling capacity, delivery terms and export eligibility for the relevant transaction, as the evidence describes product capabilities rather than current commercial availability.
Constraints, risk & compliance
Key risks and constraints
The principal profile risk is entity confusion: the former Karaj-based entry appears to have been conflated with FAICO, whose reported facility is in Mazandaran. Establishment dates conflict between 2012 and 2014, and the current status of an announced electric-arc-furnace project is unclear. Capacity figures require transaction-level verification before use in supply or investment decisions.
Sanctions and compliance considerations
Iran-related trade, financial and logistics restrictions may affect transactions involving Iranian steel producers and exports. The available evidence does not establish a specific sanctions designation for FAICO; counterparties should conduct current entity screening and obtain jurisdiction-specific compliance advice.
