Japan’s Kobe Steel Company is replacing a Chinese contractor to establish an iron ore pellet production plant with an annual capacity of 5 million tons and an investment of $133 million in Yazd Province’s Se Chahun region. This was announced by Mohammad Javad Askari, managing director of Iran Central Iron Ore Company, during a meeting with the representatives of the Japanese firm in the central Iranian province on Saturday. The Kobe-based firm was established in 1905 and is highly experienced in designing, manufacturing and starting iron ore, steel, aluminum and copper production plants as well as manufacturing industrial machinery. Cheghart and Se Chahun mines are two of the largest iron ore mines in Iran, IRNA reported.
