Tosyali Algérie's Bethioua complex reached a new monthly steel production record of 235,168 tonnes in September, surpassing its theoretical design capacity and previous output. This achievement highlights the complex's industrial dynamism and commitment to operational excellence.
The Tosyali Algérie steel complex, located in Bethioua, east of the wilaya of Oran, has achieved a new monthly production record. Its first direct reduction unit (DRI-I) produced 235,168 tonnes in September, an accomplishment that surpasses the unit's theoretical design capacity of 312.5 tonnes per hour, reaching an average of 328.9 tonnes per hour. This new milestone also exceeds the complex's previous record of 227,739 tonnes, which was established in September 2022.
This significant industrial performance underscores the high level of competence, dedication, and collective efforts demonstrated by the complex's teams. It highlights their unwavering commitment to enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening overall performance, and consolidating the foundations for sustainable industrial growth within Algeria. The achievement reflects positively on the nation's industrial capabilities and its ongoing drive towards economic self-sufficiency in the vital steel sector.
In addition to its domestic production successes, Tosyali Algérie has also played a role in strengthening the country's global export presence. The complex recently facilitated the export of 40,000 tonnes of steel products to European markets, departing from the port of Arzew. This operation included 20,000 tonnes of hot-rolled coils destined for Poland and another 20,000 tonnes of steel slabs sent to Italy, showcasing Algeria's increasing reach in international trade.
