Bangladesh Steel Re-rolling Mills Ltd (BSRM) has announced plans to open a new steel plant in Kenya with a production capacity of 400 mt of steel daily. BSRM will make an equity investment of US $4.7 million, or 18 percent, in BMS Steel. Other investment partners include Mauritius, United Arab Emirates (UAE) investors and Kenyan investors.
