Esfahan Steel Company (Persian: شرکت ذوب آهن اصفهان), formerly known as Esfahan Aryamehr Steel Company (Persian: شرکت ذوب آهن آریامهر) prior to 1979 Revolution, opened in late 1960s, based close to the cities of Fooladshahr and Zarrinshahr, Esfahan Province. It is Iran’s third largest steel producer and is directly controlled by the Ministry of Industries & Mines.[1]

Zob Ahan-e Esfahan and Iran's first car manufacturer, Iran National (renamed Iran Khodro after the 1979 Iranian revolution) were parts of a significant move from a mainly agriculture-based economy toward industrialization by the pre-revolution government of Amir Abbas Hoveyda.
