About Us

Ek Steel Ship Breaking, established in 2010, recycles ships to create a greener world.

Who We Are

Founded by Mohammed Elias in 2010, Ek Steel Ship Breaking has successfully dismantled nearly 100 decommissioned ships. Our mission is to recover valuable materials like steel, scrap metal, and reusable parts—such as generators, engines, cranes, and propellers—from old vessels. These materials are supplied to industries across the country, contributing to the national steel supply chain.

By recycling and reusing these components, we help reduce the need for new raw materials and minimize environmental impact. We are proud to lead in sustainable ship recycling while supporting industries with high-quality, reclaimed materials. Our commitment to safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility drives everything we do, ensuring that we continue to be a trusted partner in the industry.

Our History

Since 2010, Ek Steel Ship Breaking has pioneered sustainable ship dismantling and material recovery.

Ek Steel Ship Breaking was founded in 2010 by Mohammed Elias, aiming to innovate the ship recycling industry. During this time, the global economy was recovering from the 2008 financial crisis, and demand for recycled materials was steadily increasing. Bangladesh’s ship breaking industry was expanding rapidly, making the country one of the largest players in global ship recycling. The economy of Bangladesh was also growing, with industries focused on exports and infrastructure development, despite challenges in regulatory practices and safety concerns.

From 2013 to 2017, the global economy stabilized, with industrial growth in developing nations driving up the demand for recycled materials, particularly steel. Bangladesh’s ship-breaking industry continued to flourish, though it faced issues like fluctuating steel prices and environmental concerns. Ek Steel expanded its operations, improving processes to recover more materials and meet growing demands. The country’s economy was strengthening, with export industries such as garments and shipbreaking seeing steady growth, and Ek Steel played a key role in the national steel supply chain.

During 2018-2020, the global landscape was marked by trade tensions and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted economies worldwide. Bangladesh, like many nations, faced a slowdown, especially in exports and manufacturing, while the ship breaking industry continued to operate. Ek Steel adapted quickly by implementing stringent safety protocols and maintaining operations during the pandemic. Despite the challenges, the demand for sustainable practices remained strong, and Ek Steel continued to provide essential reclaimed materials to support industries at a time of global crisis.

In the post-pandemic world, the focus on sustainability intensified globally, with more industries pushing for greener practices. Bangladesh also prioritized environmental initiatives within the ship-breaking industry and other sectors. Ek Steel embraced this shift by investing in new technologies to improve efficiency and material recovery. As the economy of Bangladesh began to recover, with export sectors like textiles and shipbreaking regaining momentum, Ek Steel’s growth reflected the rising demand for sustainable, high-quality reclaimed materials to support global industries.
