JFE Steel

It is owned by JFE Holdings, which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

In China, it has a joint hot rolling and electrogalvanization mill with Guangzhou Iron & Steel Enterprise Group (广州钢铁企业集团).

In the post-World War II recovery of 1950, KHI span off its steel-making business as Kawasaki Steel.

Nihon Kokan Co., Ltd. (NKK), was established in 1912 with a steel pipes plant in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, on Tokyo Bay, in 1912 by Asano zaibatsu.

In 1968, the steel making facilities of Kawasaki, Tsurumi and Mizue were integrated into Keihin Iron Works.

In 1976, it expanded its Keihin Iron Works to Ogishishima, a newly reclaimed island in Tokyo Bay, with a blast furnace, immediately followed by a converter, a billet/bloom/slab rolling mill and a plate rolling mill.

There are two major steel works in the East Japan Production Sites (JFEスチール東日本製鉄所): After the Second World War, the plant was re-established there in 1946.

New works in Ogishima (扇島), a newly reclaimed land nearby, started operation in 1976, and the second blast furnace was constructed there in 1978.
