Dalal Steel expands Zahleh facility

Dalal Steel Industries, a manufacturer of metal building systems and pre-fabricated houses, will open its extended facility in Zahleh in early 2017. The expansion will create around 45 full time jobs.

Investment in the 22,000 square meter (m2) expansion is $9 million and has helped toward increasing the factory’s built-up area to 62,000 m2.

Production capacity of steel structure, insolated sandwich panels, and prefabricated houses will increase by 35 percent.

Marwan Dalal, Vice Chairman, said: “We are preparing ourselves to meet the demand that will come from Syrian reconstruction.”

Dalal Steel exports around 70 percent of its production output to Africa.
