One of the biggest challenges facing the global iron and steel industry is decarbonization.
At Midrex, we believe two things to be true: our world needs steel, and the steel industry cannot survive unless we develop a way to produce high-grade steel while minimizing greenhouse gases.
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI)Steel is used in every aspect of our lives.
To make steel. you need iron. Our solution is the MIDREX® Direct Reduction Process, a method for producing direct reduced iron (DRI), a high-quality and sustainable metallic iron. By using hydrogen in place of natural gas or other hydrocarbon energy sources, the MIDREX Process can reduce CO2 emissions to nearly zero.
MIDREX® ProcessEvery day, our Midrex team is working to create a sustainable future for iron and steel.
We do this by designing, building, and supporting MIDREX Plants around the world. Not only are these plants more energy efficient and sustainable, they’re also the most profitable to own and operate.
MIDREX PlantsSince 1969, we have offered the best method for decarbonizing the iron and steel industry - direct reduction.
Our growth has transformed ironmaking and has contributed to the electric arc furnace (EAF) moving into the highest-quality steel grades. And none of it would be possible without our people, who bring vision, compassion, and extraordinary expertise to work every day. By recruiting and empowering the brightest minds in engineering, research and development, and business, we will continue to offer the most sustainable solutions to our global customers.

Our Purpose
To love and serve others
Some might say this is a curious purpose for an iron-technology company, but we stand firmly by it. The work that we do is not easy, and the challenges we undertake to bring green technology to the world are significant. We are asking the brightest minds in their fields to join us in transforming an industry. That is big work. And big work requires a higher purpose. To love and serve others is about putting people first-in the world and in the workplace-so we never lose sight of why our technology matters.
