Egypt-based Suez Steel has obtained certification from TUV Rheinland for the production and marketing of railway rails, marking a first for the country’s steel sector.
The certification covers EC verification, conformity assessment of rail production processes, inspection of manufacturing operations and implementation of relevant Recommendations for Use (RFUs), in line with international standards for quality, safety and reliability.
Suez Steel said the certification strengthens its ability to supply regulated international markets while establishing a domestic, standards-compliant source for railway rail production.
The development is expected to support infrastructure projects and reduce reliance on imports, while contributing to the expansion of Egypt’s railway supply chain.
Suez Steel, part of the Solb Misr Group, operates an integrated steel complex in Egypt with production capacity exceeding 2 mln tons per year, producing rebar, billets and coils, alongside a dedicated rail and heavy sections mill.
