Amreli Steels Limited (Urdu pronunciation: [əmˈreː.li stiːlz] um-RAY-lee STEELZ) is a Pakistani steel rebars manufacturer headquartered in Karachi.
History
Amreli Steels was founded in 1972 by Abbas Akberali and is named after Amreli District, Gujarat, India from where their ancestors migrated to Pakistan.
As of 2013, Amreli's production capacity was estimated to be 150,000 tonnes, which by 2017 had increased to 180,000 tonnes.
In 2018, Amreli established a new production facility in Dhabeji with a 400,000 tonnes capacity. 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.
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.
