Establishment

Walia Steel Industry (WSI) is a private limited company established in 2006 at Alemgena town of the Oromia Regional State, which is 20km away from Addis Ababa. It was established with an initial capital of Birr 200,000,000 (Two Hundred Million Birr) and, in the years to follow, has increased the capital. The company was established with the objective of manufacturing & marketing of steel products. The industry is built on a total land area of 53,000 square meters.

WSI was established with the view of alleviating the acute shortage of construction materials in Ethiopia and to support the national endeavor of achieving the economic development by contributing in the harnessing of social problems through job creation to our citizens.

When WSI was established, it was the first private Steel industry at that time. Being one of the steel industries in the country and having demonstrated impressively a swift growth, WSI has rapidly reshaped Ethiopia's Steel sector and taken initiatives that will expand its operation to the wider African market.

It is to our customers comfort, confidence and peace of mind to bring to their attention that WSI has been certified with the ISO 9001:2015 by an international certifying company which endorses its seal of approval for operation and product quality and reliability.

WSI believes that its human resource is the most critical and important of all the resources and thus the employee's morale and dedication are the competitive advantages of the company to excel with the existing and new entrants into the industry.

WSI is organized into four functional departments that are filled in by well trained and experienced employees who do possess at least diploma in their respective field of studies.
