Esfahan Steel Company (Zob Ahan-e Esfahan) opened in late 1960s, based close to the cities of Fooladshahr and Zarrinshahr, Esfahan Province. It is Iran’s third largest steel producer and is directly controlled by the Ministry of Industries & Mines.[1]
Zob Ahan-e Esfahan and Iran's first car manufacturer, Iran National (renamed Iran Khodro after the 1979 Iranian revolution) were parts of a significant move from mainly agriculture-based economy toward industrialization by the pre-revolutionary government of Amir Abbas Hoveyda.
The company also owns Zob Ahan football club.
