The Steefo Group

What The Steefo Group does

Steefo Industries Pvt Ltd., operating under The Steefo Group brand, is an India-based manufacturer of rolling mill machinery and provider of turnkey steel plant solutions, established in 1976 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The company designs and manufactures equipment including reheating furnaces, mill stands (H-V and housingless variants), KISSsoft-engineered gearboxes, automated shears, pinch rollers, loopers, quenching systems for TMT bars, automatic cooling beds, packing beds, roller tables, block mills for wire rod, DC motors, and steel plant consumables (ferroalloys, refractories, casting components), serving TMT bar, structural section, and wire rod production capacities from 8 TPH to 100 TPH.

The business operates a project-based, quote-based pricing model with multi-year contracts and monetizes through five revenue streams: rolling mill machinery manufacturing, turnkey steel plant solutions (concept-to-commissioning for greenfield and brownfield projects), steel plant consultancy, consumables and spare parts supply, and after-sales service and maintenance. Its go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales to steel plant owners, supplemented by participation in international metallurgy exhibitions (METEC, FABEX, ANKIROS, METAFO) and a global export footprint across 15+ countries spanning South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The company is recognized by the Government of India as a Star Export House and is ISO 9001:2015 certified, serving 37+ named enterprise customers including Tononoka (Kenya), Vibrant TMT, BSRM, Electrotherm, Riyadh Steel, India Steel, Beekay, and Jumbo.

In 2023, Steefo Industries entered a joint venture collaboration with BLS Rolling Mill & Meltshop Tech, combining rolling mill manufacturing expertise with upstream melt shop technologies to extend the integrated steel plant offering.

Products and services

• Reheating Furnaces Industrial furnaces used in hot rolling mills for heating steel stock (billets) up to rolling temperatures, providing uniform temperature control for consistent rolling conditions. Sold to steel manufacturers operating hot rolling mill plants.
• Rolling Mill Gearbox Gearboxes designed for use in hot rolling mills, developed using KISSsoft industry software with precise kinematic calculations for hot rolling mill applications.
• Mill Stands All types of mill stands (including H-V Horizontal-Vertical and Housingless variants) used in hot steel rolling mills, fitted with multiple rolls through which a workpiece is passed to achieve required cross-sections.
• Shears Automated and manual shearing machines with PLC integration and smart sensors for cutting hot steel billets and TMT bars to exact lengths during continuous production without stopping the production line.
• Pinch Rollers Industrial rollers that support material movement and control coil formation in wire rod and bar mills.
• Loopers Equipment that manages tension and speed between rolling mill stands for smooth material transfer during rolling operations.
