  • Briefing for Seventh Medium‐Term Business Plan
    JFE Holdings, Inc. Briefing for Seventh Medium-term Business Plan May 7, 2021 Presentation Moderator: We would like to move on to Part 2: JFE Holdings, Inc. Briefing for Seventh Medium-term Business Plan. Mr. Kakigi, Representative Director, President and CEO, will now give an explanation. Kakigi: I am Kakigi from JFE Holdings. I will begin the explanation. First of all, I would like to look back on the Sixth Medium-Term Business Plan. As you are all aware, our earnings deteriorated sharply, mainly in the steel business, mainly due to the effects of trade friction between the US and China and the spread of COVID-19. As you can see here, the steel business was the only one in a very difficult situation. However, looking back, I believe that we have done what we can to establish a foundation to some extent, and one of the things we have done is to announce our individual target of the CO₂ emissions reduction for our steel business last year. The other thing is that each company has been proactive in promoting digital transformation. By operating company, JFE Steel struggled, but it reinforced manufacturing base spending a lot of money. Then, in March last year, it decided to implement structural reform by shutting down the upper process and hot-rolling production lines at Keihin district. 1 JFE Engineering is doing relatively well, and it has expanded its operation business and conducted 2 M&A transactions. JFE Shoji acquired Cogent, a company in Canada, in order to strengthen its electrical steel sheet processing bases, and also promoted SCM* expansion.

  • Trend of Ironmaking Technology in Japan After 2000
    NIPPON STEEL TECHNICAL REPORT No. 123 MARCH 2020 Technical Review UDC 669 . 162 : 622 . 785 /. 788 Trend of Ironmaking Technology in Japan after 2000 Seiji NOMURA* Abstract The first two decades of the 21st century were turbulent for the steel industry. The reor- ganization of the steel industry across borders has progressed and the increased demand for steel products has caused a rise in the price of raw materials such as iron ore and metal- lurgical coal. Furthermore, more emphasis has been placed on global environmental pro- tection and carbon dioxide emission control than ever before. The ironmaking technology division in Japan has struggled to cope with these changes both at home and abroad. This report describes the trend of the development and commercial application of the ironmaking technology of Japan in the first two decades of the 21st century. 1.

  • Aqua Business Merger Between JFE Engineering Corporation and Isomura Hosui Kiko Co., Ltd
    News December 5, 2013 JFE Engineering Corporation Isomura Hosui Kiko Co., Ltd. Aqua Business Merger between JFE Engineering Corporation and Isomura Hosui Kiko Co., Ltd. On 28 November, 2013, JFE Engineering Corporation (JFE Engineering) and Isomura Hosui Kiko Co., Ltd. (Isomura Hosui Kiko) have concluded the basic agreement to spin off the waterworks plant business owned by Isomura Hosui Kiko to be merged by JFE Engineering, which will take effect starting May 2014. 1. Purpose of the merger The coverage of water supply and sewerage systems in Japan have reached high levels of 98% for water supply and 76% for sewerage. However, after the Great East Japan Earthquake, many urgent issues have emerged; in particular, preparing for future seismic disasters and renewing facilities built during Japan’s postwar economic boom, which have now reached their lifespan or have become outdated. In addition, local municipalities are increasingly outsourcing the operation of water supply and sewerage systems to the private sector as a means to solve problems caused by a decrease in revenue, such as the shortage of funds and the lack of engineers. As a result, there is unprecedented demand for the overall technical competence and management skills of private corporations. Meanwhile, outside Japan, increasing the coverage of water supply and sewerage systems is an urgent issue for developing countries experiencing rapid urbanization such as those in Southeast Asia, and there is growing expectations to the technology and know-how of Japanese companies in the design, construction and operational management of water supply and sewerage infrastructure. By merging their waterworks plant business under these circumstances, where comprehensive abilities in the fields of water supply and sewerage systems are needed both in Japan and abroad, JFE Engineering and Isomura Hosui Kiko will provide total solutions throughout the entire aqua business field.
