Overseas Steel

Steel business overseas is expanding with JFE Steel Corporation’s steel products exports at the core, and the company participates in a variety of projects, with Asia as an area of particular significance.The export of steel products has been synchronized with JFE Steel’s global strategy, and together with exploiting overseas networks to expand sales in new fields and markets, reliable supply of steel products through steel processing centers (coil centers) has allowed JFE Steel to respond to increasing degrees of variation and sophistication in customer needs.
With increasing demand for steel products particularly in China and Southeast Asia, intensive marketing resulting from detailed research has allowed cultivation of this demand, and JFE Steel is working towards expanded exports of high-quality steel products from Japan.
For our overseas network, in 2013, we established the Yangon branch of JFE Shoji Trade Thailand Limited in Myanmar where future growth can be expected and the Istanbul liaison office in Turkey, which is recently showing rapid growth. In total, we have 32 service locations over 17 countries worldwide including U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia. Through this network, we are able to instantly obtain information on steel businesses worldwide and pass the information on to our customers. We established a new Chinese Business Head Office in 2013 and placed local corporations and business companies in China under the control of this Head Office. At the same time, we placed business companies that are deployed in Thailand, and North and Central America under the control of JFE Shoji Trade Thailand Ltd. and JFE Shoji Trade America Incorporated, respectively. In this way, we established a worldwide structure that enables active promotion of regional strategies in each region.
