Our role as an integrated
steel trading company
Metal One’s mission is to supply steel that contributes to all sorts of industries in a wide range of businesses worldwide.
Specifically, we operate steel businesses in two key segments—trading and business investments—on a global scale.
-
Trading
“Trading” refers to serving as an intermediary between companies that want to sell and buy goods. Metal One procures steel products from steel manufacturers, and then sells them to car manufacturers, construction companies, and other end-users that make products using steel. Our five business divisions take advantage of our comprehensive distribution, processing and sales capabilities to do business worldwide.
-
Business investments
Metal One injects capital into companies that possess capabilities in steel processing, manufacturing and sales in value chains, and also takes on management duties to stabilize and expand businesses.
