This prestigious achievement highlights the pioneering position of Emirates Steel as a leading regional manufacturer, and the powerful influence of Al Remeithi as a regional thought leader and a change maker, Emirates Steel said in a statement.
 
Under his leadership, Emirates Steel evolved to be one of the leading integrated steel manufacturers across the MENA region, with the inspiring vision to be amongst the top global steel producers, it added.
 
Over the last two decades, Emirates Steel gained its solid reputation by providing the best-in-class steel products catering to the different needs of its customers in multiple sectors including construction, energy, and transportation whether within the local market, or across more than 40 countries around the world.
