In 1317 AH, a 53,000-ton iron smelting factory was purchased from Krupp, Germany, and by September 1320, when Iran was occupied, 8,000 tons of these machines reached the factory that was being built in Karaj. The factory building was also under construction. But with the occupation of Homeland and the capture of the German engineers working in the factory, the operation was stopped, and only the building of the part of the factory where the machinery was supposed to be stored continued.
The Karaj iron smelting plant was never built until, within the framework of the protocol of technical and economic cooperation between the government of Homeland and the former Soviet Union, the construction of an iron smelting plant was agreed upon and an agreement was signed, which was approved by the parliament on January 23, 1344 and its implementation It was started by Tyazhprom Export Company.
