TOKYO — JFE Steel Corporation announced today that it acquired 16.64 million shares, or 8%, of Sun Steel Joint Stock Company (SUNSCO), a leading manufacturer of galvanized steel sheet and steel pipe in Vietnam. The shares were purchased from Maruichi Steel Tube Ltd., which remains the leading stakeholder in SUNSCO.
JFE Steel will cooperate closely with SUNSCO to support customer acquisition and market development in the Indochina region, where the demand for steel products mainly for construction and infrastructure is expected to be strong.
