Emirates Steel Arkan, the UAE’s largest steel and building materials manufacturer, has introduced a new operating model to capitalize on the collective strengths of its Steel and Building Materials businesses, aligning with its vision and strategic goals. This new model establishes two distinct business units, namely Emirates Steel and Building Materials.
Under this framework, Emirates Steel and Building Materials will each have dedicated leadership to spearhead growth within their respective units. Both units will report directly to Eng. Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, Group CEO of Emirates Steel Arkan. Saeed Al Ghafri will assume the role of CEO for Emirates Steel, while Saeed Al Dhaheri will act as CEO and Vice President Commercial for the Building Materials division.
To support these business units, centralized functions will be established in areas such as Finance, Human Capital, Technology, Strategy & Transformation, and a new Projects function.
Emirates Steel Arkan was formed through the merger of Emirates Steel and Arkan Building Materials in 2021. Since then, the combined entity has embarked on a transformation journey, streamlining departments, prioritizing safety, identifying operational efficiencies, strengthening its financial position, and developing a roadmap for decarbonization with the aim of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Emirates Steel Arkan is a public joint stock company and the UAE’s largest steel and building materials manufacturer.
