Contribution to development of overseas transportation infrastructure
Rail is used all throughout the world to move trains of various purposes. Certain types of rail is used for passenger transport in an urban center on metro and subway lines to high speed long distance transport, while other types of rail is used for heavy haul in the industrial sector to transport various goods and natural resources such as iron ore and coal. We are dedicated to continue to support the safe and efficient transportation of both people and goods through our robust supply of rails to overseas projects.

Strive to provide stable supply of energy that is environmentally friendly
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is attracting attention as a clean energy. With the growing global demand for LNG in recent years, many new LNG terminal development plans have been implemented in Japan and overseas. The LNG tanks for storing LNG liquefied at extremely low temperature are among the most important facilities at these terminals. There are only a limited number of LNG tank manufacturers and steel manufacturers in the world who can provide the special heavy plates for the tanks. We provide a stable supply of special heavy plates to the LNG tank manufacturers in the world.
Because the demand for special steel is growing in the LNG industries, we are also working to provide steel materials for other LNG facilities as well as tanks.
