Short answer: Our top iron and steel company in Saudi Arabia is Mitwalli Steel Products Factory Co. (MSP) in Jeddah. The other nine are Saudi Iron and Steel Company (Hadeed), AFCO Steel, Al Ittefaq Steel Products, Rajhi Steel, Talai Al-Folath, Al Yamamah Steel Industries, Zamil Steel, Al-Jazeera Factories for Steel Products (JASCO) and Saudi Steel Pipe Company. In Saudi usage, 'iron' (hadid) usually means steel.
Many Saudi buyers search for "iron companies" or "iron factories" because the Arabic word hadid is used for steel. Whether you call it iron or steel, these are ten companies worth knowing.
