Message from the president Plantech Mind for Customers

CORPORATE MISSION AND MANAGING PRINCIPLES

We, JP Steel Plantech Co., were established with the philosophy of
contributing to the development of the world's steel and nonferrous
industries with our world class engineering capabilities, based upon the
integration of the steel plant technologies that the four companies have
cultivated over half century.

Since the establishment of our company back in 2001, coming from our well
established technologies, we have optimized our engineering capability for
manufacturing technology, creating an ecological plant that meet the current
global environment requirement as well as smart products incorporating
leading edge technologies of AI and IoT. With such technologies, we have
grown steadily with strong support of our stakeholders.

As the metals industries continue to advance technological innovation and

globalization, we would like to bring our products with new technologies
into steel and nonferrous plants, in order to contribute to the establishment
of a prosperous society and the healthier environment.

Our mission is to provide taylormade technologies and solutions in order

to materialize customers’ challenges
and requirements with safe and
reliable products, based upon quality
manufacturing and professional services.

Steel Plantech’s CALs and CGLs fulfill a variety of the technological needs of Japan’s steel industry,
and have been implemented for the production of high-quality steel sheets that are used primarily as
external panels for automobiles.With the market increasingly oriented towards high-grade steel for
higher added-value products, the China Steel Corporation (CSC) of Taiwan adopted Steel Plantech’s
CAL and CGL, and has further strengthened its status as one of the world’s leading steelmakers.
