Algerian Qatari Steel (AQS) is planning to expand its sales share in the European long products market. The company has been certified to sell rebar to Lithuania, effective immediately upon issuance on October 20, and covers B500B, 8-40 mm steel rebars. This is the second AQS certificate for the Baltic region, along with the existing one for Poland.

AQS has an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons of direct reduced iron, 2.4 million tons of crude steel, 1.5 million tons of rebar, and 500,000 tons of wire rods.

The main sales markets are Africa, the UK, and Poland, with the subsequent goal of expanding its markets in the Baltic and Scandinavian regions.
