Building a Legacy: The Journey of Ife Iron and Steel Nigeria Limited
In 2011, we embarked on a journey with the establishment of Ife Iron and Steel Nigeria Limited. From the start, our goal was far more ambitious than merely producing iron rods and rebars.
We envisioned creating an ecosystem that would foster continuous growth and innovation within Nigeria’s iron and steel industry.
Our mission was clear: to be a cornerstone of development, supporting the country’s infrastructure and construction sectors with unmatched quality and reliability.
A Vision Beyond Steel
At Ife Iron and Steel, we’ve always believed that our role goes beyond manufacturing. Each rod and rebar we produce is a building block for Nigeria’s future which is a stepping stone in the development of modern cities, sustainable infrastructure, and thriving local economies.
We have aimed to establish an environment where local manufacturing flourishes, creating jobs and reducing dependency on imports while ensuring the highest standards of quality.
From private homes to large-scale projects, our products are more than materials as the strength behind Nigeria’s dreams.

The Nigerian iron and steel industry faces hurdles like high production costs, inconsistent power supply, and competition from imported materials.
