Muhaj Baghdad signs with Danieli to develop rolling mill plant 

Hilla – Muhaj Baghdad, an Iraqi-based company, has signed a contract with Danieli to develop a new 500,000-tpy rolling mill facility plant for rebar.

The planned facility plant would use Danieli’s high-speed rolling technology to create high-quality rebar with a diameter of 10 to 40 mm.

The plant will be constructed in the industrial district of Al-Hilla, south of Baghdad. It is anticipated that the new high-speed mill will begin operations in late Q3 2025.

According to Danieli, a six-pass, fast-finishing block and a combination of 12 horizontal-vertical housingless stands will be part of the new rolling mill to guarantee effective output. It has Danieli Morgårdshammar bar guidance systems and multidrive technology, which enable it to roll rebar at high speeds, with tight tolerances, and a high level of surface finish.

Danieli will provide plant starting, installation, and training advising services in addition to equipment and Danieli Automation L1 automation systems.

Muhaj Baghdad will emerge as a major participant in the TMT bar market in Iraq as a result of this investment.

The Danieli Group, with its headquarters in Italy, provides metal industrial equipment factories. The business is a major global provider of steel plants.
