Strength and trust in the building industry are synonymous.  Every solid foundation carries a tale of hard work, innovation, and perseverance. German Green Steel & Power Limited (GermanSteel) is a company with a history of nearly five decades, and its aim has been to revolutionize the production and sale of steel in India.

A Scrap Trading Company's Lowly Beginnings (1976)

Mr. Shamsulhaq Mohammed Jalil Iraki established Iraki Scrap Suppliers in 1976. This was the beginning of the GermanSteel tale.  The company's mission, back then, was straightforward: to deal in good quality scrap metal in a honest and ethical manner.

This small business grew into something big.  The family made strong relationships with many industries over the years, gained a lot of knowledge about steel, and developed a reputation for integrity.  These concepts are what transformed GermanSteel into what it is today.

Entering Manufacturing: A Bold Leap Forward

By mid 1990s the second generation of leadership was ready to take the company to new heights. GermanSteel took a bold step into steel manufacturing setting up state of the art facilities to produce sponge iron, billets and TMT bars.

This was not just about expansion it was about control. By going vertically integrated GermanSteel ensured that every stage of production from raw material to finished product met the highest quality standards.

Today the company has two world class manufacturing facilities in Samakhiyali (Kutch) and Viramgam (Ahmedabad). These plants are certified with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and BIS approvals (1786 & 2830) – a seal of trust and quality that builders and developers can rely on.


Innovation That Builds Stronger Futures

One of the things that sets GermanSteel apart is its commitment to adopting latest technology.

● Thermex Quenching Technology ensures TMT bars with exceptional strength, flexibility and durability.

● Cut & Bend solutions provides ready to use reinforcement bars, saves time, reduces waste and improves efficiency at construction sites.

These innovations makes GermanSteel TMT bars not just strong but also easy to weld, bend and resistant to corrosion and fire – features that modern infrastructure projects demand.

 

Sustainability: Steel with a Green Vision

The company invests heavily in renewable energy and operates hybrid wind–solar power plants in Bhavnagar and Bharuch. Its facilities are equipped with waste heat recovery systems and captive power plants to ensure energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

This green approach makes GermanSteel one of the few Indian manufacturers working towards a zero-carbon footprint in steel production.

A Legacy of Leadership and Growth

Behind GermanSteel’s progress is a team of forward thinking leaders including Mr. Inamulhaq Iraki, Mr. Abdulhaq Iraki, Mr. Ibrarulhaq Iraki, & Mr. Nareshkumar Patel. Together they bring decades of experience, passion for innovation and a common vision to make GermanSteel a global name in sustainable steel manufacturing.

 

Trusted Across Gujarat and Beyond

From housing projects and commercial complexes to bridges and highways, GermanSteel TMT bars are trusted by engineers, architects, and contractors across Gujarat for their projects ranging from residential housing and commercial complexes to bridges and highways.  Every product shipped from the factory carries the company's brand name along with an assurance that it will be durable, safe, and long-lasting.

Looking Ahead: Stronger, Greener, Better

The story of GermanSteel is one of vision, perseverance, and forward momentum. It began life as a humble scrap trading company in 1976 and today is one of the leading steel producers in the world. The aim for the future remains clear: to produce stronger steel for stronger buildings while also preserving the planet for generations to come.
