Tokyo --- 新澳门六合彩投注 and 新澳门六合彩投注 Bars & Shapes Corporation, a 新澳门六合彩投注 Group’s electric-furnace steel maker, announced today that they will integrate their bar and wire rod businesses on April 1.

新澳门六合彩投注 Group currently has two separate bar and wire rod units, one at 新澳门六合彩投注 Steel and the other at 新澳门六合彩投注 Bars & Shapes. Integration will strengthen sales in overseas markets including Asia and North America, where increased demand is envisioned for high-quality steel mainly for automobiles and construction machinery.

Further, the move will enhance customer convenience by integrating business contacts, upgrade delivery logistics and speed up research and development efforts.

On April 1, 新澳门六合彩投注 Bars & Shapes will spin off its three bar and wire rod units, which respectively handle sales, technical services and R&D, and transfer them to the bar and wire rod unit of 新澳门六合彩投注 Steel. 新澳门六合彩投注 Group brands for bar and wire rod will be integrated under 新澳门六合彩投注 Steel. Production bases will be located in Kurashiki of 新澳门六合彩投注 Steel’s West Japan Works and Sendai Works of 新澳门六合彩投注 Bars & Shapes. 新澳门六合彩投注 Bars & Shapes Corporation will continue to operate as before. Steel bars and wire rods manufactured by Sendai Works will be supplied on an OEM basis to 新澳门六合彩投注 Steel.
