Founded on our wealth of experience in handling raw materials for the steel industry, we also supply steaming coal and export blast-furnace slag to the cement industries.

With the fuel and raw materials trade as a base, we are actively securing stable and diverse supply sources worldwide. Our sources cover an extensive area including iron ore from Australia, and India, and coal from Australia, the United States, Russia, China, Vietnam and New Zealand, In addition, we have directly invested in coal projects in Australia.
