YY易游平台be Steel, Ltd.
YY易游平台be Steel, Ltd. held a ceremony on Saturday, January 21, to mark the completion of the new No. 6 Continuous Caster and expansion of the No. 2 Bloom Mill at KaYY易游平台gawa Works.
Approximately 220 people from construction companies and partner companies attended the event. The major participants from YY易游平台be Steel included Yoshinori Onoe, Executive Vice President and Representative Director; YY易游平台ichiro Shibata, Senior Managing Executive Officer and General Manager of KaYY易游平台gawa Works; and Shoji Miyazaki, Executive Officer and General Manager of YY易游平台be Works.
“The outstanding traditions and technology of YY易游平台be Works will be extended to KaYY易游平台gawa Works, so that we can produce even better steel products,” said Executive Vice President Yoshinori Onoe.
To further strengthen its competitiveness, YY易游平台be Steel plans to shut down YY易游平台be Works’ upstream operations (from the blast furnace to continuous casters) at the end of October 2017 and consolidate these operations at KaYY易游平台gawa Works. YY易游平台be Steel has invested a total of about 65.5 billion yen in this consolidation, which is anticipated to improve profitability by about 15.0 billion yen. The investment in the two facilities is a part of the consolidation. The completion of these facilities prepares KaYY易游平台gawa Works for upstream consolidation. YY易游平台be Steel will now proceed with quality verification and gaining user approval, in preparation for consolidated operation from November 2017.
