Features of JSW's Muroran Plant |
| |
Construction of the Japan Steel Works' first steel mill, the
Muroran Plant, was completed in 1907 on reclaimed land off Bokoi Beach
facing the natural harbor of Muroran, which is now famous throughout
Japan for its Hakucho Bridge. |
| |
JSW built up an excellent reputation for technological know-how
as Japan's largest civilian ordnance manufacturer, and following the
end of World war II, it swiftly converted to private-sector demand.
The Company enjoys a worldwide reputation as a maker of materials
and components, supplying large forged and cast steel products, steel
plates, pressure vessels for the chemical and petrochemical industries,
and a wide range of industrial machinery. |
| |
Expanding on the technological know-how accumulated through
the manufacture of the above-mentioned products, with the needs of
the society of the future in mind, the staff of the Muroran Plant
are devoting efforts to technological and product research into new
materials including supper-alloys and powder metallurgy, as well as
medical care, electronics, marine development, foodstuffs, and environmental
applications. |
