Japan-based Nippon Steel Corporation has announced that it will restart its blast furnace No. 1 at its East Japan Works in Kashima by the end of January 2021, due to the recovery in steel demand.
The company temporarily halted its blast furnace No. 1 at the Kashima plant in April this year to reduce its overall steel output volume, as SteelOrbis previously reported.
I graduated from the Department of English Language and Literature at Kocaeli University. Since 2020, I have been producing content focused on the steel industry. At SteelOrbis, I write industry news on a wide range of topics, including EU and UK trade measures, regulatory changes, quota utilization, and the statements and views of organizations representing the Turkish steel sector.
