Nippon Steel Corporation

Nippon Steel Corporation was formed in 2012 by the merger of the old Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal. The old Nippon Steel Corporation was established in 1970 by the merger of Fuji Iron & Steel and Yawata Iron & Steel. Nippon Steel is the world's third largest steel producer by volume as of 2019.

With manufacturing bases in Japan and 15 countries or more worldwide, Nippon Steel Corporation is Japan’s largest steelmaker and one of the world’s leading steel producers. Our group—the Nippon Steel Group—does business in four areas, starting with our core segment of Steelmaking and Steel Fabrication and including Engineering and Construction, Chemicals and Materials, and System Solutions. We undertake these businesses based on four pillars laid out in our Medium- to Long-term Management Plan:
1) rebuilding our domestic steel business and strengthening our group’s management,
2) promoting a global strategy to deepen and expand our overseas business,
3) taking on the challenge of carbon neutrality and,
4) promoting digital transformation strategies.

With the aim of continually growing to become the “best steelmaker with world-leading capabilities,” we will pursue world-leading technologies and manufacturing capabilities and contribute to society by providing excellent products and services.
