In April 2012, JFE Bars & Shapes Corporation
was reborn after the four electric arc furnace steelmakers
of the JFE Steel Group were merged.
Specifically, the four electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmakers in the JFE Group,
JFE Bars & Shapes Corporation, Daiwa Steel Corporation, Toyohira Steel Corporation, and Tohoku Steel Corporation, were merged.
JFE Bars & Shapes made a fresh start as one of Japan’s largest EAF steelmakers
while inheriting a long history of steelmaking, which the predecessor companies have continued.
