Nisshin Steel Quality Products
Foreword
Nisshin Steel Co.,Ltd is an integrated steel manufacturer in Japan. Our products range
from ordinary steel to special steel, surface-treated products, stainless steel and welded
pipes and tubes. In 1958, we became the first Japanese producer of cold-rolled stainless
steel sheets in coil at Shunan Works and since then we have helped to make stainless
steel a material commonly used in the manufacturing of consumer durables both in Japan
and overseas.
Nisshin Steel has received wide acclaim as a supplier of cold-rolled sheets and strips and
hot bands of excellent quality. To meet the diversifying needs of our customers, we have
developed special types and grades of steel, including surface-treated products.
We are working to satisfy our customer's needs by providing a line of better products and
the quality of which is achieved through our use of advanced production facilities.
The following is an introduction to our stainless steel products, their applications and
other relevant information.
