Asin Abhar

What Asin Abhar does

Asin Abhar Steel and Rolling Complex (Foolad va Nvard Asin Abhar) is an Iranian private-sector steel manufacturer that operates a 20+ hectare industrial complex in Abhar (Hidaj district), Zanjan Province, and self-describes as Iran's largest domestic producer of seamless steel pipes under the Folasin brand. The company's core offering is seamless steel pipes (Mannesmann pipes) produced via the Accu Roll Mill hot rolling method, with 160,000 tons of annual capacity across sizes 2–7 inches, available in Schedule 20, 40, and 80 grades and certified to API5L, API5CT, ASTM, and DIN standards for oil & gas, petrochemical, and refinery applications. It also produces a range of steel sheets (cold-rolled, galvanized, pickled, tinplate, and color-coated) in thicknesses from 0.25 to 2mm, and runs an in-house quality control laboratory with mechanical, chemical, and metallurgical testing (Razi Laboratory certification).

The business operates a direct-to-customer B2B sales model with no disclosed channel partners or resellers; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with orders placed through a Tehran sales office and factory contacts. Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales of pipes and sheets to industrial customers in Iran, with named clients including Foolad Mobarakeh, Borna Sanat Kian Aria, Khavar Sanat Homa, and Persian Iron. The firm is privately held (no institutional investors identified), funded with over 50,000 billion Iranian Rials (~$1.2B at official rates) of private capital, and holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 29001:2020 certifications alongside Iranian National Standards marks (ISIRI 6771, ISIRI 3574) that qualify products for state-affiliated utility and petroleum procurement. Phase 1 launched in 2020 with two hot rolling lines, and Phase 2 began in 2023, adding Schedule 80 production and expanded 4–6 inch pipe sizes, with stated headcount targets of 1,000 direct and 3,000 indirect employees at full capacity.
