Becoming an irreplaceable manufacturing presence

The Iron & Steel Unit plans to achieve the following milestones. For FY2024, we will work to evolve into a material supply chain (procurement and logistics) expert, to establish an original supply chain and to push ahead with new sustainability transformation (SX) businesses to become an irreplaceable presence thinking and acting proactively based on robust relationships of trust established with customers.Be a business unit (sustainable business unit) that continues to support manufacturing through proposals and material supply chains (procurement + logistics) that can respond to the needs of consumers in FY2030. Go beyond being a steel product trading firm for Kobe Steel, Ltd. and become an irreplaceable presence by independently thinking and acting, with strong relationships of trust with customers, handling different types of products including wire materials, steel plates, automotive parts, construction materials and titanium and stainless materials. To achieve the above goals, endeavor to develop new businesses like investment, M&A, working with offshore wind power generation businesses, supplying special alloys for photovoltaic power generation, reducing weight in EV (electric vehicle) components, and more.
