ROGESA Roheisengesellschaft Saar mbH and Zentralkokerei Saar GmbH (ZKS), belonging to German Saarstahl, agreed to their partnership with the Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) through a new 5-year contract. Recognizing IOC's consistent performance and high-quality iron ore, ROGESA and ZKS awarded IOC the "TOP supplier" accolade in the iron ore category for the fourth consecutive year.

Stefan Rauber, Chairman of the Board of Management of Dillinger and Saarstahl AG, emphasized the importance of IOC's reliability and product quality in shaping the transition to low-carbon steel. The partnership aims to leverage IOC's iron ore to meet future demand for both blast furnaces and direct reduced iron (DRI) production.
