Message from Top Management

Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation was

established in 2012 by merger of Nippon Steel and

Sumitomo Metal. With the aim of realizing the world

top-class competitiveness, we have made steady

progress in integrating technologies of the two former

companies, reducing costs by raising efficiency,

consolidating facilities and organizations, developing

overseas businesses, and reorganizing Group

companies. I am pleased to say that we have made

solid achievements in the first stage of business

integration, by reaching or even exceeding our numerical financial targets in the first

Mid-Term Management Plan.

We have been implementing the second Mid-Term Management Plan, for fiscal 2015–2017.

This plan has two key imperatives: (1) Enhance manufacturing capabilities at our “mother

mills” in Japan (2) Strengthen and expand overseas businesses, based on our strength in

Japan. We are striving to advance our technology, cost competitiveness, and global reach

to firmly establish our position as the best steelmaker with world-leading capabilities.

I believe that a truly global company should strive for the development of countries

where it has a presence, and be trusted and respected in the world. “NSSMC will pursue

world-leading technologies and manufacturing capabilities, and contribute to society by

providing excellent products and services.” This corporate philosophy is what everyone

at NSSMC has in mind and puts into practice every day. By doing so, we aim to always

be useful to and needed in society.

We would like to ask for your continued support and understanding.
