Made in Botswana

Steel for a stronger region.

Sherashiya manufactures steel billets in Selebi-Phikwe and is building an integrated route to locally rolled reinforcement steel for Botswana and Southern Africa.

Product portfolio

Billets today. Rebars next.

Our present focus is consistent export supply of 3SP steel billets. The rolling mill will extend this platform into finished reinforcement steel produced in Botswana.

Manufacturing platform

Built to scale.

The Selebi-Phikwe facility combines induction melting, continuous casting and dedicated high-voltage infrastructure within a platform designed for higher utilisation.

01
Two induction furnaces

A 15-ton furnace and a 7-ton furnace provide the plant's core melting configuration.

02
Regional export orientation

Current billet production is supplied to customers in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Integrated steel route

From metallic input to finished steel.

Sherashiya's development programme links existing steelmaking with downstream rolling and future upstream raw-material security.

01

Metallic inputs

Scrap metal today, with future DRI integration planned to diversify the charge mix.

02

Melting & casting

Induction melting and continuous casting at the Selebi-Phikwe steel plant.

03

Steel billets

3SP square billets produced in 100 mm and 120 mm sections at 6 m length.

04

Reinforcement bars

Downstream rolling into construction steel, targeted from February 2027.

Growth roadmap

One steel platform. Greater regional value.

A phased plan connects operational billet production, downstream rebar manufacturing and a more resilient raw-material base.

Operational

Steel billet manufacturing

Billets are produced in Selebi-Phikwe for regional export using the plant's induction furnace and continuous-casting platform.

In progress

Rolling mill installation

The downstream mill is being installed to convert in-house billets into reinforcement steel.

Target: February 2027

Rebar production

Commercial production is planned to support Botswana and wider Southern African construction markets.

Planned upstream integration

DRI and iron ore development

A secured iron ore reserve and planned DRI production are intended to strengthen long-term feedstock availability for the steel plant.
