Steel is the world's most indispensable material today, and steelmakers need to constantly adapt to the evolving needs of the global market while supplying its growing demand.

Osaka-based Yodogawa Steel Works, established in 1935, has grown its business on a foundation of hot-dip zinc coated steel sheets and expanded and innovated through the years to remain at the leading edge of the steel industry.

It now produces a wide range of steel products using state-of-the-art techniques and applications such as pre-painted and galvalume steel sheets. Having solidified its position as a top manufacturer of surface-treated steel sheets, the company has also grown organically into the areas of rolls, building materials, exterior products and grating.
