*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
JFE Steel East Japan Works in Chiba is located at the centre of the Keiyo (Tokyo-Chiba) Industrial Zone. The East Japan Works arose out of the consolidation (in 2003) of Kawasaki Steel's Chiba plant located on the east-side of Tokyo Bay and NKK's Keihin works which is located on the west-side. This profile note focuses on the Chiba plant which specialises in producing high value-added sheet products including hot and cold rolled coils, coated sheet (including hot-dip galvanised, electro-galvanised, and electrolytic tinning), UOE pipe and cold rolled stainless steel grades - which account for approximately 30% of Chiba's total steel output. Note we have excluded stainless steel production from our analysis.
