Godo Steel Ltd, a group firm of Nippon Steel Corp. and one of the largest mini-mills in Japan, has announced that it will takeover a 51 percent stake in Mitsuboshi Metal Industry Co., a Niigata-based rebar producer, at a cost of Yen 4.29 billion ($37 million). The takeover is seen as a further step in the Nippon Steel-led realignment in the Japanese electric furnace steelmaker industry.

Through this transaction, Godo Steel will collaborate with Mitsuboshi Metal Industry Co., which is an affiliate of Mitsui & Co., in securing raw materials and exchanging technologies.

As previously reported by SteelOrbis, Nippon Steel has also taken Oji Steel under its umbrella in line with its investment plans to further ties with electric furnace steelmakers in an effort to strengthen its presence in the sector.
