JFE Shoji and JFE Shoji America jointly exhibited at AISTech 2025 with heat insulation manufacturer MAFTEC Co., Ltd. Organized by the Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST), this trade show took place from May 5-7 in Nashville, Tennessee. Several employees from MAFTEC, the JFE Shoji Machinery & Materials Overseas Section and JFE Shoji Steel America participated.

The focus of this joint exhibition was on promoting MAFTEC™ heat insulation—which is one of the JFE Shoji Machinery & Materials Overseas Section’s main products—as well as products related to our JFE Resolus™* Manufacturing Solutions Business, including slab breakout detectors and portable piping gas leak detectors, along with high-performance materials and equipment such as monolithic refractories, thick-film thermal-sprayed rolls, and flame-retardant greases.

Our booth drew many industry professionals from American, Canadian, Mexican and Brazilian steel companies, European engineering firms and distributors, and many other companies. Some even engaged in business negotiations on the spot, making the trade show a great opportunity to expand our business.

We will continue to conduct surveys of customers, distribution networks, etc. while strengthening our initiatives designed to expand our business in the American market.
