GPH Ispat Ltd takes pride in meeting all steel-related needs of its esteemed clients, combining top-notch quality products with unparalleled customer service. As articulated by GPH’s Director (Strategy & Transformation), Salehin Musfique Sadaf, in an exclusive interview to Ceramic Bangladesh, “GPH aims to fulfill all steel-related requirements of its extraordinary clients by offering best-quality products paired with exceptional service.”

GPH Ispat Ltd, founded in 2006 and commenced commercial operations in 2008, embodying its guiding principles: God-fearing, Plain living, and High thinking. Conceived by visionary leaders and experienced traders, GPH was established to provide premium-quality steel products to the Bangladeshi market. Since its inception, GPH has relentlessly strived to deliver maximum value to its customers by consistently offering the best steel products available.

The company made history in 2020 by introducing the Quantum Electric Arc Furnace—the world’s most advanced process for producing construction-grade steel—marking its debut in Asia. The extraordinary foresight of the founder, Mohammed Jahangir Alam, in establishing this state-of-the-art manufacturing unit, has garnered international acclaim. Industry experts from the USA, Saudi Arabia, and India have visited the facility to replicate its success in their respective countries.

GPH has set an exemplary standard in prioritizing people and planet over profit by producing green steel products with minimal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This trailblazing approach to sustainability has established GPH as a benchmark in the steel industry.

“I was destined to return to my beloved Bangladesh—settling abroad was never part of the plan. Elevating Bangladesh on global platforms has always been my dream. Of all the sectors in our family business, I chose steel because of its transformative potential. Steel is not only versatile but also has the power to build nations and even reach into space,” shared Salehin Musfique Sadaf.

Reflecting on a pivotal moment in 2017, Salehin described a conversation with his father while traveling from Dortmund to Bremen, Germany: “We discussed how developed nations have nurtured industries across generations to sustain their economies. These core industries, alongside their complementary sectors, have matured to surpass even their foundations in profitability. It became clear to me that investing in metals and materials is vital for Bangladesh’s self-reliance and economic resilience. Developing upstream and downstream industries could reduce trade deficits and save significant foreign currency.”

At GPH, we produce Steel billets as semi-finished products and 3 different grades of construction grade steel rebar as finished product. Out of 420, 500 and 600 grade rebar, GPH is only able to produce 600 grade rebars in Bangladesh because of its distinct technical capability allowing stakeholders to be able to reduce their consumption while increasing performance.

Due to maintaining the highest of the standards GPH was able to export around 125,000 metric tons of steel billet to China which is a net steel exporter country. Along with prime products since last 1 year we have partnered with Leviat Sdn Bhd, a global leader in construction technologies to promote optimized construction techniques and supporting products in Bangladesh. ‘Leviat’ is a part of fortune 500(S&P) company. We also sell medical and industrial grade oxygen and nitrogen to our valuable clients.

The people who think about quality will always choose GPH because of its Moral integrity, its capability in utilizing valuable resources more efficiently and obviously visionary leadership behind it. The GPH products not only ensure the best physical property but also ensure the best chemical composition among any other brands.

Sulphur and phosphorus being the most challenging elements in any mild steel products, with the help of best technology in steel making only GPH can maintain a proper ratio of these two elements consistently. These are not any claims, this can be easily proven by the test report gained from reputed facilities. When other brands are only being able to match the specification, GPH is passing tests with extraordinary differences compared to others which show our commitment to offer the best products in the market.

With the only accredited lab facility in the steel industry, GPH supports stakeholders in realizing their aspirations with pride. The company’s devotion to economic, environmental, and social sustainability is reflected in its operations. For instance, GPH uses 115 kg of steel scrap to produce 100 kg of pure steel, ensuring unmatched quality. In comparison, other brands use only 112 kg of scrap for the same output—a testament to GPH’s pursuit of added purity and customer satisfaction. GPH is capable to produce 1.0 million tonnes of billet and different parts of prefabricated building materials each year.

GPH Ispat Limited remains committed to going above and beyond, reshaping the steel industry while upholding its promise of excellence and sustainability.
