Inauguration of the Isfahan Iron Smelting Factory


It is located in the southwest of Isfahan province and in the north of Lanjan city. The products of this company’s factories are exported to more than 33 European, Asian, and African countries, and in the domestic market, these products have been used in large projects such as Capital’s Milad Tower, Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, large dams, and the National Metro and Rail. History At the beginning of Reza Shah Pahlavi’s reign, experts from the German Krupp company were invited to Iran to investigate the construction of an iron smelting factory. The primary purpose of building this factory was to provide the rails needed to start the national railway network, which was supposed to be built soon.

These experts estimated the cost of building the iron smelting factory at twelve million tomans, which was not affordable for the Iranian government. It is decided that the government will start the construction of the railway with imported rails and, at the same time, start the construction of a small iron smelting factory, the cost of which was estimated to be four and a half million tomans, and the construction time was estimated to be five years.
