Hello Sir/Madam,
Tokyo Steel Co., Ltd (TSCL) Management thank you for considering our part- time job offer, as a representative of our company in your region. Ever since its founding, Tokyo Steel has continually expanded its product line from basic long steel products, such as small steel sections and bars, to a variety of steel products. In particular, Tokyo Steel has become the country’s number-one producer H-beams for the past 80 years. And the Company has been aggressively boosting the proportion of its production devoted to higher value-added products, such as sheet piles, jumbo H-beams, and a variety of flat-steel products (hot coils, pickled and oiled coils, galvanized coils, heavy steel plates, etc.). It closely tailors this well-rounded mix of high-quality, price-competitive products to meet the constantly shifting needs of its clientele, with a view to maximizing profitability.
Another distinguishing characteristic of Tokyo Steel is its emphasis on upgrading its production facilities with state-of-the-art technologies, keeping it several steps ahead of both domestic electric arc-furnace steelmakers and most of its overseas competitors.
Thanks to timely investments in technological innovation over the years, while maintaining a sound, debt-free financial footing, the Company arguably boasts one of the highest productivity levels in the steel industry worldwide. It unflaggingly seeks more efficient ways to manufacture steel products, improve product quality, and minimize costs. Furthermore, it takes pride in its role in protecting the environment thanks to its role as a recycler of steel scrap, thus emitting only one-fourth of the carbon dioxide per unit of production compared with making steel using iron ore and coal. In addition, we engage in contracted work and engineering projects. We also strive to expand our business in the global market by increasing our overseas presence from the long-term perspective providing services and trades to global Companies, Industries and Individuals in Asia, Canada, USA and Europe.
