The entity then imported Iron and steel products for local consumption. With a history of over 50 years of excellence to its credit, Mughal Iron & Steel Industries Limited (“MISIL”) is one of the leading companies of Pakistan in the iron and steel sector. The company was incepted in the early 1952 in the form of a proprietorship firm with a purpose to uplift trade, contribute to national economy and ensure industrial growth of the country. In the turmoil that surrounded the newly independent country, the sponsors came up with a strong vision and devoted entirely to trade and industry; their dedication is truly appreciated by their commendable clientele. In 1994, a production unit was established under the title of “Al-Bashir Steel Industries (Private) Limited” at 17-Km Sheikhupura Road, Lahore. The Company installed a medium Section Re-Rolling Mills to produce residential and structural sections like I-beams, H-beams, C-sections, L-sections etc. In 1998 Mughal Steel (a partnership concern) was established. In the same year MISIL stepped in to providing social services and as a result established an eye hospital under the umbrella of “Mughal Trust”. Since its inception Mughal Trust has been involved in a number of charitable ventures. Mughal eye hospital commenced operation in 2001. To date it has catered about 100,000 outdoor patients and conducted 10,000 major surgeries, 15,000 minor surgeries and 5,000 Laser surgeries approximately. The hospital is equipped with the latest ophthalmology equipment. In 1999, Mughal Steel imported and established 2 Induction Furnaces. In the same year an Argon Oxygen Decarboriser (“AOD”) was installed along with ladle refining furnace reaching a complete melting, refining alloying cycle. AOD was the first of its kind in Pakistan, capable of producing stainless steel of 200, 300 and 400 series. This also served as completive advantage as Mughal Steel was the only steel manufacturer to name other than the competitors in the market. In 2003, a Stainless Steel Sheet Rolling Mill was added to the previously established Mughal Steel. The new production unit resulted in increased product line and efficiency. Furthermore to compliment several production units and ensure quality standard Mughal Labs (“ML”) was established. ML is equipped with traditional Chemical, Mechanical Analytics machines as well as an Optical Emission Spectrometer of the M8 Series. In 2005-6 foreseeing the rising demand of electricity, “Mughal steel” imported and installed a 9.3 MW captive power plant in collaboration with GE Jenbacher. The project was aimed at utilizing existing deposit of Manganese and Chromites in Pakistan for the formation of alloys such as Ferro Manganese & Ferro Chrome. In 2008, Mughal Steel took over the Plant & Machinery of Al-Bashir Steel Industries (Private) Limited and installed two additional mini sectional mills. In 2010 Mughal Iron & Steel Industries Limited (“MISIL”) was incorporated which took over the running business of “Mughal Steel” (Partnership concern). In the same year MISIL installed bar re-rolling mill with capacity of 150,000 M/T. In 2011 MISIL installed a coal gasification plant and further in 2013 installed a new tandem section mill with annual capacity of 300,000 M/T. At present MISIL operates its manufacturing facilities which include melting furnaces, smelting facilities, re-rolling of different sections (both hot and cold rolling), power house & coal gasification plants etc. The Company is involved in multidimensional activities from making billets of Mild Steel, Spring Steel, Deformed bar, Re-bar, Cold Twisted Rebar and a huge range of Sections such as I.
