The R&D mandate at Mobarakeh Steel Group is explicitly designed to execute a critical shift in the product portfolio: moving decisively from high-volume, lower-margin commodities toward a strategic focus on specialized, high-value-added solutions. This transformation is essential for securing long-term profitability and maintaining a defensible position against global competitors.

The core function of the Metallurgy and Production Methods Unit is the rigorous development and refinement of next-generation steel grades that anticipate and successfully exceed the technical demands of the most sophisticated industries globally. The scientific efforts of the Group are systematically concentrated on materials engineered specifically for applications subjected to the highest stresses, including high-pressure energy pipelines (demanding superior toughness and weldability) and advanced lightweight automotive construction (requiring optimal formability and crash safety).

This commitment has already yielded significant, quantifiable results, notably the successful development and commercial launch of 26 new specialized steel grades in the last fiscal year. These grades are not mere variations; they represent distinct metallurgical breakthroughs achieved through precise control over chemical composition and thermomechanical processing.

This dedication to scientific mastery translates directly into measurable, tangible benefits for global partners: superior and guaranteed material performance, significantly reduced risk of material failure in critical components, and increased efficiency and yield in their final manufacturing and assembly processes. The position of Mobarakeh Steel is clear: investment is being made in the future product quality and competitive differentiation of its partners.

Furthermore, the focus on high-value products ensures the efficient utilization of the Group’s enormous production capacity. By maximizing the revenue generated per ton of steel, the economic sustainability required to fund further infrastructural and R&D expansion is ensured. The stability supplied by the internal power generation is the essential backbone supporting this entire R&D mandate, as precise temperature control—critical for achieving the microstructural properties of these new grades—is only possible with an uninterrupted, high-quality energy supply.
