Bahrain Steel Holding, an industrial group specializing in iron and steel and the parent company for both Bahrain Steel and Salab, has declared a state of force majeure for certain group operations due to ongoing regional developments in the Middle East and the resulting security and logistical challenges. The company stated in a release distributed by Bahrain News Agency that the rapid developments in the region, including airspace restrictions, disruption of some maritime routes, and heightened security risks, have created conditions beyond the group's control, affecting operations and supply chains in certain activities. The company has decided to temporarily suspend certain operational processes until suitable conditions are in place to resume operations safely, in order to ensure the safety of employees, contractors, and all related parties.
