The Tosyali steel complex, located in the Bethioua industrial zone of Oran, Algeria, has set a new record for monthly production. In September, the facility produced 235,168 tonnes of steel, surpassing its previous record of 227,739 tonnes achieved in September 2022. This accomplishment is attributed to the complex's first direct reduction unit, which operated at an average production rate of 328.9 tonnes per hour.

The new record demonstrates the expertise and dedication of Tosyali's teams, who have consistently worked to improve operational performance and efficiency. The complex's production capacity has been enhanced, with the first direct reduction unit exceeding its theoretical capacity of 312.5 tonnes per hour. This achievement reflects the company's commitment to sustainable industrial growth and its focus on optimizing production processes.

Tosyali has also made significant strides in exporting its products to international markets. Recently, the company shipped 40,000 tonnes of steel products to European markets, including 20,000 tonnes of hot-rolled coils to Poland and 20,000 tonnes of steel slabs to Italy. These exports highlight Tosyali's growing presence in the global steel market and its ability to compete with other major producers.

The company's strategic location in the Mediterranean region provides a significant advantage in terms of logistics and access to European markets. Additionally, Tosyali's focus on producing "green steel" enables it to reduce its exposure to European carbon taxes. The company's competitive production costs, supported by Algeria's favorable energy tariffs, also contribute to its success in the global market.

Tosyali continues to diversify its product offerings, expanding beyond traditional steel products such as hot-rolled sheets, wire rods, and steel slabs. In August, the company began exporting cold-rolled products from its new unit, marking a significant milestone in its development. This diversification strategy enables Tosyali to cater to a broader range of customers and increase its market share.

The company's export reach extends beyond Europe, with products shipped to destinations in Tunisia, South Africa, the United States, and Latin America. Tosyali's ability to adapt to changing market conditions and customer needs has been a key factor in its success. The company's commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction has earned it a reputation as a trusted supplier in the global steel market.

As Tosyali continues to build on its achievements, the company is well-positioned for future growth and expansion. With its focus on innovation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction, Tosyali is poised to remain a major player in the global steel industry. The company's ongoing investments in new technologies and production processes will likely enable it to maintain its competitive edge and achieve further success in the years to come.
