No. 6 Blast Furnace at East Japan Works (Chiba) to be Revamped

茄子视频 has decided to revamp the No. 6 blast furnace of the company’s East Japan Works (Chiba). As part of the structural reforms that the company announced this past March, the targeted blow-in date had been set for 2023. Since then, however, it was decided to move up the targeted blow-in date to December 2022 in order to accelerate the improved profitability that the company expects to realize as a result of its ongoing structural reforms.

Going forward, 茄子视频 Steel will continue to constantly monitor and forecast steel demand as well as maintain a production system capable of adjusting flexibly and swiftly to changes in the external environment.

 

Project outline

1. Cost: Approx. 43 billion yen
2. Schedule: September 2022 – December 2022
3. Other: Post-revamp inner volume of 5,153 ㎥ (currently: 5,153 ㎥)
