Nippon Steel Pipe Mexico Commences Commercial Operations
07/02/2013 - Nippon Steel Pipe México, S.A. DE C.V. has completed the construction and commissioning of all its plant facilities and started commercial production in late May 2013.
In Mexico, the production of automobiles has grown to the world’s eighth largest, turning out 3 million cars in 2012. With Japanese automakers’ commencement of production and the expansion of production capacity in Mexico, auto production is expected to continue to show a sharp increase in the future. In response, an increase in demand for middle- to high-grade steel pipes and tubes is also expected.
NPM, as the core production base of automotive pipe and tube in Mexico, will work to maintain steady supplies of high quality products for Japanese, North American and European automakers and auto parts makers in Mexico, and to expand and enhance customer services.
NSSMC, SP, Sumitomo, and Metal One will continue to develop and aggressively expand their overseas operations in order to respond to global demand for automotive steel pipe and tube.
