Business Model

JFE has two major integrated steelworks, one each in western and eastern Japan, that boast world-class costs, products, and technologies. Both facilities leverage the highly competitive technologies, intellectual property, and know-how accumulated by JFE over many decades.

JFE continuously elevates its technological capabilities to world-class levels to meet Japanese demands for top-quality steel, which in turn enables the company to compete globally and create new value through advanced technological development.

JFE has built a solid and highly stable global customer base – one that cannot be easily matched by rivals – thanks to its practice of collaborating from the early development stage to accurately address the exacting needs of its many customers.

In a variety of fields, such as energy, the environment, and bridges, JFE has constructed numerous highly functional and high-quality structures that satisfy customer needs, covering everything from engineering to project handover. Moreover, we will strengthen our competitiveness by building out a global engineering system at overseas bases.

We have accumulated operational know-how in plants in particular, such as waste-to-energy power generation and waterworks, and in the public services field, the Company has an extensive track record in public–private projects. We also engages in our own recycling operations and renewable energy power generation business, and is expanding its presence in operation & maintenance business domains around the world.

Approximately 40% of our employees have diverse backgrounds, such as women, foreign nationals, and career hires. We also strive to create work environments that draw out the best abilities of each and every employee. We support the advancement of “creation” and “responsibility” while digitalizing operations with AI and IoT.
