Collaborating closely with partners
to create new businesses through digital transformation
and carbon neutrality,
leveraging our drive to constantly pursue innovation

Deeply involved in supply chains of all kinds as an integrated steel trading company—including automotive, shipbuilding, electrical appliances and construction—Metal One has demonstrated a broad range of capabilities in everything from the manufacturing of steel products to sales, processing, warehousing and distribution. All industries are confronting various issues, including carbon neutrality, an aging society with fewer children, and incorporating digitalization. To provide solutions for these issues, Metal One is promoting digital transformation initiatives to enhance the efficiency of complicated steel market operations from upstream to downstream. We are also promoting carbon neutrality measures using a two-pronged approach: pursue innovation and new business opportunities and reduce greenhouse gases. Additionally, working together with partners around the world, we are intent on providing solutions that resolve customer issues and creating business models to open new markets.

We are deploying a two-pronged approach to promote carbon neutrality: pursuing innovation and new business opportunities and reducing greenhouse gases.
