Alumtek Conductors Output with New CEO

Moves and changes in management are natural parts of any company. This is inevitable and acceptable, but managers in production businesses should be replaced with more efficient people who can lead the company towards greater progress with their modern technical knowledge. That is what has happened in Alumtek and the company’s output has evidently grown after the management change. We have interviewed Mahdi Sohrabi, CEO of Alumtek, for this Insider Talk to learn more about the recent changes in the company and its future plans.

Seven Diamonds Pre-painted Sheets

Pre-painted steel sheets are the final product in the steelmaking value chain; they create the highest added value and are only one step away from end consumers. The product is not very commonly produced or consumed in Iran; with the stagnation in industries such as construction, part of the domestic production is always surplus. Recently, however, exports of steel sheets and pre-painted sheets in particular have been banned on the pretext of controlling the market and stabilizing official domestic prices. As a result, companies are operating below 50% capacity. Seven Diamonds is among the companies that contribute to the domestic production of pre-painted sheets, with a wide range of products from cold-rolled coils to painted Galvalume sheets. But the company has had to cut output as exports have been stopped and the domestic demand for pre-painted sheets is not strong enough. FelezatOnline has interviewed Navid Izadpanah, board member at Seven Diamonds to further discuss the production and consumption of pre-painted galvanized sheets in this issue’s Insider Talk.

Mehdi ‌Abad Lead & ‌Zine Mining Complex

Mehdi Abad Mining Complex is one of the largest industrial mining projects in the country’s history. The complex received international recognition when exports pointed out its massive resources of lead and zinc and the potential domination of global markets in 2022. According to calculations, there are only four years left until the massive, high-grade, exceptional Anguran mine goes offline; after that, all eyes in the lead and zinc industry will be on Mehdi Abad mine. In this Insider Talk, we have interviewed Amin Safari, complex manager at the Mehdi Abad Baryte, Lead and Zinc Mine to find out more about the mine.

Seven Diamonds Galvalume Sheets

Owing to their physical and chemical properties, galvanized sheets are of particular importance in consumer industries; their most prominent property, corrosion resistance, makes them the metal of choice in the manufacturing of durable products such as home appliances, automotive, and construction. Galvalume sheets have different properties from galvanized sheets. For instance, they are more resistant to corrosion and more durable. Seven Diamonds is the largest producer of galvanized sheets and the only producer of Galvalume in Iran; the Galvaume production line has recently been commissioned. FelezatOnline has interviewed Omid Izadpanah, board member at Seven Diamonds, to discuss the production and consumption of galvanized and Galvalume sheets for this issue’s Insider Talk.
