Terms of Use
The Wire, Specialty & Stainless Steel Business Division consists of two business units
that supply a wide range of products from base materials such as wire rod,
specialty steel and stainless steel to processed goods and parts made of those steel materials.
These products are indispensable to the automotive,
construction machinery, civil engineering, and construction industries, as well as many others.
Our division operates businesses with deep roots in supply chains at every level.
Combining sales strengths that stand out within the industry
and the capabilities of Group affiliates with long histories,
we supply highly specialized products to a broad range of customers in Japan and elsewhere.
Wire & Specialty Steel Business Unit
Along with our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Metal One Steel Products Corporation and Metal One Specialty Steel Corporation, the Wire & Specialty Steel Business Unit boasts a strong presence and the highest business volume in the domestic wire and specialty steel sectors. We also operate businesses overseas using the vast expertise we’ve developed to date.
In addition to trading in base materials within the wire sector, we have business investments in wire manufacturers both in Japan and overseas, so we also supply secondary and tertiary wire products indispensable to cars, appliances and construction.
