Specialty steel refers to steel that possesses special properties. By recycling scrap iron and breathing new life into it, the steel is reborn into new products. The Group also contributes to reducing weight, increasing strength, enhancing corrosion resistance, and expanding the life of products. As our products are used in harsh environments that normal steel cannot withstand, the Group supports the development of people’s lifestyles and society. By providing “value that goes beyond the special,” the Daido Steel Group contributes to the realization of “a green society” through co-creation with all stakeholders and aims to enhance sustainable corporate value.
