Global reach and efficiency
Capital Steel Trading’s journey in Jafza began in 2014, a strategic move that enhanced its operational efficiency and expanded its reach not only within the GCC, but also globally. The free zone’s position as a major gateway to global markets, with connectivity to over 150 ports through Jebel Ali Port, has been a game-changer for the company’s business, ensuring easy access to end-users and third-party processors.
In recognition of its export performance, Capital Steel Trading was recognised as the “Company with the Highest Export Value” by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in January 2022. The company’s major export shipments to global markets have been fully supported by Jafza, which plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient logistics and cargo-flow management.
Jafza’s digital platforms for trade and inventory handling, customs clearance, and stocking have streamlined Capital Steel Trading’s operations. The company’s extensive facilities, spanning approximately 420,000 square feet, and a dedicated workforce of over 150 employees, have helped the company achieve a remarkable turnover of 110,000 metric tons per month. Furthermore, the company is in the process of establishing a new 400,000 – 500,000 square feet storage facility to expand its inventory and meet growing customer demands.
