The origin of NIPPON STEEL METAL PRODUCTS began with the establishment of “FUJI
SEIKO” about 100 years ago, and in 1973,
NIPPON STEEL METAL PRODUCTS wasformed by the spin-off and separation ofNIPPON STEEL CORPORATION's Kawasaki
Works and Division of Processed Products
Business. Later, it was merged with NITTETSU ECON (formerly NAKANOSHIMA SEIKO),and then in 1980 with NITTETSU METALFABRICATION (formerly YAWATA METALFABRICATION).
The year 2006 saw a business integration
with the road and civil engineering-related
business of “SUMITOMO METAL STEELPRODUCTS (formerly: SUMIKIN METALPRODUCTS)” and in 2016, following abusiness integration with “NIPPON STEEL &SUMIKIN COLUMN (formerly: KIMITSU
KOHAN KAKO)”, the present day NIPPONSTEEL METAL PRODUCTS was formed.
The flow (of history) from several large
sources has been merged and handed downfrom generation to generation, and during
this period, NIPPON STEEL METAL PRODUCTS has grown as a company with newvitality and diversity by combining each ofits superior products, technologies, humanresources, and culture.

as a material for a variety of products.
“Steel is indispensable for creating the future”. Based on the strong
spirit and pride that “Steel creates the future”, we have responded tothe needs in fields such as architecture, transportation, civil engineering infrastructure, and disaster prevention by researching and developing products that take advantage of the performance of steel. However, we believe that we have only realized a portion of the potential ofsteel.
Steel is a material with hidden possibilities that are still unknown, andwe will continue to take on the challenge of reaching those possibilities
that no one knows about yet.
When we say “What if we could create a product like this”, we want totry and make a product out of steel, which someone somewhere isdreaming of. We believe that this is our history, and that it is ourmission to continue moving forward along with steel.

Adhesion Technology

Robot Welding Processing
Sophisticated Programming Technology

Using adhesive technology that we have cultivated over many years,
we can strongly bond a variety of resin films and metal foils tovarious metal plates, such as hot-dip galvanized steel sheets,
stainless steel, and aluminum, so that they do not come off during
press processing or bending.

Controlling robots with a wide range of motion requires advanced
technology. Customization for each product other than the basic
operation program, and the position and timing of transportation with
peripheral equipment such as transportation conveyors are carefully
adjusted by the technology and know-how of our engineers, thusachieving labor saving and high-quality stable production.

Spinning
Achieving High Quality through Accurate Processing

Powder Production for Continuous Casting
Highest Global Standard Quality and Functionality

Spinning (rotary rolling) is a type of rotary plastic processing technology inwhich steel pipes are heated, rotated, and pressed against squeeze rollers,
and thus formed. To be able to propose products that meet the needs ofclients, we have accumulated technical know-how such as tension control,
expansion of aperture diameter, and development of squeeze roller
shapes.

The powder for continuous steel casting is required for products thatcomply with the rapid advancement in steelmaking technologies and thatare best suited for each customer’s operating conditions and casting steel
type. Our group quickly and accurately designs and develops optimal
products based on our extensive experience and data accumulated overmany years.

Cold Rolled Forming
Pioneers in Roll Forming Technology
Cold rolled forming is a technology of plastic working of metals at ambient temperature. Steel plates are fed
at a constant speed while rewinding hot coils on a production line lined with dozens of grooved rolls, andthen formed by bending in the width direction in a progressive and continuous manner. In addition to simple
shapes like that of a round pipe, it is possible to mold products with complex and asymmetric cross-sectional
shapes such as deck plates and steel sheet piles by changing the shape of the roll and the number of steps.
In addition to efficiently producing high-quality, long-length products, we have been operating a cold rollforming factory since the 1960s as a pioneer in roll forming because of the many advantages of being able toproduce at anbient temperature, which include reducing energy costs and reducing the environmental load.

Columns

For half a century, we have always stayed ahead of the curve, focusing on thedevelopment of cold roll-formed rectangular steel pipes and press-formed rectangularsteel pipes. Architectural components that are made using this technology are used in awide variety of steel structures, including mansions, homes, office buildings, factories, andwarehouses. In recent years, we have been offering new products such as ND CORE™,
which is a column-beam joint material, and ECO-KAKU™, which is a rectangular steel pipe.

Transportation and Civil Engineering Infrastructure

Transportation and Civil Engineering Infrastructure

Approximately 60 years have passed since the firstroad guardrails were installed in Japan, and ourproducts have continued to evolve along with thedevelopment of Japan's transportation infrastructure.
The nationwide network of roads, railways, ports, andairports has entered an era of mass transportationand faster speeds, creating a need for more highly
functional and safe products. We will contribute tothe creation of safe and comfortable roads throughproducts that take into consideration the surrounding
environment and landscape.

In recent years, as concerns over environmental problems have increased, requests from residents against noiseproblems have also been increasing year by year. Accordingly, there is a growing desire to not only improve noise
prevention technologies and take proper measures, but also to develop products with excellent designs in view ofthe landscape and environment. Our group provides a variety of sound absorbing and sound insulating products
having a high level of design and easy maintainability, based on our many years of experience and track record.

Road Guardrail

Noise Barrier“Guardrails” are a typical product used as protective fences forvehicles, and are widely used from high-standard highways togeneral roads. The wave-shaped beam cross section offers
excellent line-of-sight guidance.

As per the needs of the times, a protective fence forvehicles that also looks scenic is required, and thus, the“TMS™ type guard pipe” was developed. The clean
design of the upper beam line enhances the scenery
behind it and creates a good road environment.

STERA FENCE™

Through a product lineup suitable for various uses, we can makeproposals according to your needs. In addition to general fences,
we also design and manufacture special fences with functions
suitable for installation purposes, such as super security fences foranti-terrorism purposes and multi-functional fall prevention fenceswith fall prevention and windproof functions on highways.

PLN™ (P2LN™)“Guard Cables” use the elasticity of wire ropes toabsorb energy during a vehicle collision. They
have the highest transparency and can make theroad appear wider.

7PLN™ (P2LN™) is a vertical lattice with adjustable slope that acts
as a crossing/fall prevention fence that can freely comply with slopechanges of up to 45 degrees in terms of a vertical slope and 90
degrees in terms of a flat angle. The weight has reduced byapproximately 20% compared to our conventional products, which
has significantly improved the workability too.

NS ECO PILE™
“NS Eco Pile method” is a piling method involving a steel pipe pilewith a single spiral blade welded to the edge of the steel pipe. In thisconstruction method, a rotational force is applied to the piles thatpenetrates into the ground, allowing for low noise, low vibration, andconstruction without soil removal. In addition, since the construction
is carried out using small, self-propelled heavy equipment, thismethod can be applied to sites with construction restrictions such as
narrow spaces, height restrictions, and close ranges.
