One of the biggest challenges facing the global iron and steel industry is decarbonization.
Having the right solutions to reduce carbon, and doing it more economically, is going to be critical. Direct reduction, the focal point of our technology, is the best-proven method to make an immediate and dramatic reduction in the industry’s CO2 footprint.
Environment, Health, and Safety Assurance
Our industry-leading technology is what gives us the edge in the market, but it’s our people who make that technology possible. It’s our people who create, improve, and sustain the products and services today and imagine the new technologies on the horizon. This is why we have been in business for over 50 years with plants operating in more than 20 countries.

The Midrex Difference
We provide technologies that are environmentally friendly for the iron and steel industry, with a particular focus on direct reduction. We design, build, and service Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plants using the MIDREX Process, the most flexible and reliable direct reduction technology available.
MIDREX® ProcessOur goal is to ensure long-term success for our clients and to support the entire plant lifecycle through a two-way technology sharing program and strategic partnerships with leading companies in their specialty fields. From plant start-up and commissioning, the support of clients continues through our services and aftermarket group, known as Midrex Global Solutions.
We are a global company, with headquarters and research and technology development center located in Charlotte, NC, USA, and offices in the United Kingdom, China, India, and Dubai.
Midrex is wholly owned by Kobe Steel, Ltd.
Midrex provides support for the entire plant lifecycle from design through the supply of aftermarket services.
Our relationship with clients goes far beyond developing projects and supplying technology solutions.
Our involvement begins even before the contract stage, as we find the right solution specific for each client rather than making one generic technology fit.
