Nippon Steel

(previously known as Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal until 2019) is Japan's largest steelmaker, headquartered in Marunouchi, Chiyoda, Tokyo. The company has four business segments, including steelmaking, engineering, chemicals, and system solutions. It is the largest producer of crude steel in Japan and the fourth largest in the world.

The company is on the Forbes Global 2000 list, ranked 1971 in 2023. The company is the third incarnation of the Nippon Steel name, each time with a slightly different spelling or pronunciation. The original company, known as Japan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (日本製鐵, ''Nihon Seitetsu''), was split into two separate companies in 1950. These two companies later merged in 1970 to form and this name lasted until 2012, when it merged with Sumitomo Metal Industries. The company’s English name reverted to its 1970 name in 2019, while its Japanese name returned to the original 1934 name. Provided by Wikipedia
