Operations
NSF was established in 1995, with a single production facility
in Egypt and a total annual production capacity of 36,000
tons. Due to our experienced management team, skilled
employees and the implementation of the latest equipment,
we have become a world leader in our field.
We now own and operate four major facilities in Egypt and

tons annually. Our plants cover a total area of 1 million square
meters.
Today we offer a sophisticated and complex product range,
which has resulted in NSF being chosen for critical projects
across a variety of sectors and countries. We work on projects
involving the production of specialist pressure vessels and
boilers, as well as steel structure components for projects
including bridges and military airports.

Our sectors
Power & energy generation

With increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions

we are focusing resources on wind and solar energy projects.
In this specialist area we have worked on projects including
the Kuraymat solar power plant in Egypt and wind farms
in Greece.
However our experience is not limited to solar and wind
projects. We have extensive experience on all kinds of
power and energy generations projects including the Talkha
combined cycle power plant in Egypt, the Langage gas fired
power station in the United Kingdom and the Cartagena
combined cycle gas turbine power plant in Spain.
Our specialism in heat recovery steam generation units and
boilers, combined with our capacity to produce heavy steel
structures make us an ideal construction partner in this
demanding sector.

Oil & gas

Industrial

Bridges & heavy steel works

Our experience in this sector extends to supplying different

diameters of piping, structural steel, piling, plate works, design
and fabrication of pressure vessels and reactors and painting
systems for clients including Bechtel and Archirodon.

NSF has carried out several projects in the cement, fertilizers

and pharmaceutical sectors. With the experience gained
from executing such projects, we have positioned ourselves
as a market leader in this sector and we are well equipped
for any kind of industrial application regardless of the design
complexity and sophistication.

We have worked on mega steel structures including the

El Ferdan swing bridge the longest of its kind in the world,
the C-130 maintenance hanger at Cairo West air base and
the Borg El Arab airport.

Growing economies rely on industry to provide the raw

materials they need to thrive. We have worked on projects
in the oil and gas extraction industry, as well as petroleum
refineries and pipelines for crude petroleum and natural gas.

Due to the environmental demands on companies operating

in this sector, we frequently address challenging problems to
reduce the environmental risks of our clients to the minimum
acceptable levels.

Oil & gas

With the global economy focusing on industrial advancements

and allowing more industries to take active roles in the markets
worldwide, it was inevitable that industrial applications using
extensive steel constructions flourish as a result.

As the world strives to build bigger and more impressive

structures, we continue to rise to the challenge. We produce
components for mega constructions off site and deliver
them ready to slot into place. Precision and timely delivery is
essential so as not to disrupt strict schedules.

Heavy steel works is not just about the production of

structural steel, we also supply drawing and engineering
services, steel coatings. We have a proven track record of
precision and timely delivery in this area executing projects
with the highest level of quality and attention to detail.
