Material Revolution™,
making the world sustainable and prosperous.
The Japan Steel Works began in 1907 with steelmaking.
What society was demanding at the time was superior steel.
At the time when Japan was striving to improve its industrial technology to catch up with Europe and the United States, steel was a universal value indispensable to the nation.
We will soon celebrate 120 years since our founding. Values that everyone thought were unchanging around that time have changed dramatically over the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras.
With the recent importance placed on the value of natural capital, lighter weight and low environmental impact materials are required to mitigate climate change risks.
After World War II, we focused on the lightweight material plastic earlier than any other company, and introduced various manufacturing equipment for plastics to the world.
Marine pollution caused by waste plastics has now become a major social problem, and a global challenge is the realization of a resource-recycling society where waste plastics can be used to solve this issue.
Furthermore, the world now needs new materials that are lighter, highly functional, and more energy-efficient than ever before to achieve carbon neutrality.
JSW Group will make the world more sustainable and prosperous by developing and implementing industrial machinery and new materials that solve social issues with the power of Material Revolution™.
