I. Production size
1. ArcelorMittal (Home – ArcelorMittal)
Mittal’s acquisition of Arcelor Group was a merger that is the world’s largest steel manufacturing group, with steel mills all over the world, 310,000 employees in more than 60 countries and factories in major markets and developing countries around the world. If you ask where ArcelorMittal is, I don’t know, South Africa? France? Spain? Ukraine?
For this enterprise is not a lot of understanding, only know advanced management, very rich, Tuhao, but also very profitable, that’s all.
2. New Nikko – Living Gold (New Day Live Gold )
Today, Japan’s largest steel company, crude steel production ranked Japan first, the world’s second, after ArcelorMittal. It was formed by the merger of New Japan Iron (Nissin Iron) and Sumitomo Metal Industry (Sumitomo Gold), now known as Nikko-Sumitomo.
Nikko is not only Japan’s largest steel company, but also has deep ties to China. Chinese steel giant Baosteel was the chief designer of Deng’s mention of the Japanese Niigata Iron to help build, in the process of building Baosteel, The New Japan Iron not only design and construction, but also to provide personnel training, technical support, for our then weak steel industry injected fresh blood.
Now some people say that Japan’s construction of Baosteel is a conspiracy, the argument is different, in general, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. And for now, Nikko is already feeling the threat from Baosteel.
Take a chestnut:
In the years when iron ore prices were still negotiated, Nikko was behind Chinese steel, or Baosteel.
In 2005 iron ore negotiations, by the New Japan Railway and The Australian Rio Tinto talks, in order to crack down on Chinese enterprises from the price of ore, the price of mineral powder and block ore increased by 71.5 percent from the previous year, this price not only caused the dissatisfaction of other steel companies at that time, but also did not achieve their own goals. Because the ore rose 71.5 percent, the impact was that steel prices rose by more than 71.5 percent and profits were much higher.
Of course, the iron ore negotiations that followed fell to Baosteel, with prices rising 19 per cent and 9.5 per cent respectively.
3. Posco(POSCO)
As a steel enterprise with ideal, sentimental, strong, I can only kneel.
First look
at honor: Morgan Stanley as “the world’s most competitive company”
Forbes as “the world’s most watched company”
Dow Jones as “sustainable enterprise”
seven times by the International Steel Dynamics Corporation (WSD) as “the world’s most competitive steel manufacturer”
…
Pohang Steel was built by Japan’s war reparations, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which Park Used to build the Pohang steel plant and the Seoul-Busan railway.
Pohang Steel was built in 1968, there are currently two steel mills, respectively, in Pohang City and Kwangyang City (Kwangyang) with a well-established plant, the steel plant in Pohang is completely developed in a small fishing village, using its unique geographical advantages, the construction of a U-shaped port, Steel production process look around the entire U-shaped line, raw materialproduct products out of one mouth, the current strength of the world is afraid. The German Economic Weekly once said that “Japan, a powerful steel giant, is the only steel company that the world really fears”.
Technically, Posco Korea has significant innovations and reforms in technologies such as Melt Reduction (FINEX), oxygen-rich smelting of large blast furnaces, continuous cast of large press (PosHARP), thin slab continuous cast straight rolling (CEM), thin strip continuous casting (Postrip), headless rolling, etc.
In education, sponsored the establishment of Pohang University of Technology, is currently one of the strongest universities in Korea engineering, ranked in the top 10 in Asia. Pohang Steel Is quietly the economic pillar behind Pohang University of Technology, the rich, so wayward.
In sports, he bought the Pohang Steelers, who won the Asian Cup.
In the corporate culture is also full of feelings, if you visit Pohang, you will see them a very impressive wall of photos, which are said to be covered with photos of all Posco employees (no photos found).
Of course, these are inseparable from ThePoon’s spiritual leader Park Tae-jun, here will not be detailed, can be their own Baidu.
4.JFE(JFE Corporation)
In 2002, Japan’s second-largest steel company, NKK, and Kawasaki Iron, Japan’s third-largest steel company, merged.
5.Baosteel ( Baosteel Group , Home )
Baosteel need not say, can not say that all Chinese understand, at least have heard of it. It is called Baoshan Steel Co., Ltd., or Baosteel for short.
It is also mentioned above, Baosteel was built by Japan’s New Japan Iron in 1978, completely modeled on the construction of the new Nikko, now to Baosteel to visit the Japanese friends, but also praise “Oops, ah, this and our new Japanese iron and steel as the same drop!” “It is more exaggerated to say that if there is a pile of earth in the Niigata Iron Works, there will be a pile of earth in the same position of Baosteel.
In the construction of Baosteel, Japan did give a lot of help, until now, Baosteel people talk about Baosteel history, but also appreciate the japanese friendship.
As China’s largest steel joint venture, Baosteel’s automotive plates, steel cords and other products in short supply, but also in recent years, the steel industry in the cold winter few money-making enterprises. If there is a chance to go to Baosteel, you can see their exhibition hall in a row of Baosteel products, how to say, quite forced.

Corporate Management
1. ArcelorMittal (belongs to

Have it? Have it? No less BB. That’s probably what it means. It can be seen that the management level at that time is high, as well as Park Tae-jun’s ability.
