"We have witnessed a qualitative surge in the global engagement in SteelFab, providing strong momentum for the iron and steel industry — a pillar of the industrial renaissance sweeping the UAE," Al Owais said, as per WAM.

He went on to praise the UAE government for supporting the steel industry, noting that it is the backbone for numerous manufacturing sectors and infrastructure projects.
