Business Details
Handles processing, manufacturing, treatment, and sales of automotive steel sheets and aluminum plates, specialty steel sheets, stainless steel sheets, bar/pipe steel, electromagnetic steel sheets, building materials, and other key product categories. Major customers are automakers centered on the Toyota Motor group. The domestic automotive steel sheet business has been transferred to and consolidated within Toyotsu Metal Solutions Corp. (formerly Toyota Steel Center Co., Ltd.), driving expansion of business rights as the flagship of the steel supply chain for the Mobility industry. Decarbonization initiatives are also accelerating, including investment in electrolytic iron production, a raw material for Green Steel.
Recent Overview
Falling steel prices squeezed profit; profit for the year decreased ¥303 million (0.7%) year on year to ¥43,169 million
In the Metal+ (Plus) segment for FY2026 (ending March 2026), despite an increase in handling volume related to automobile production mainly in North America, profit for the year (attributable to owners of the parent) decreased ¥303 million (0.7%) year on year to ¥43,169 million due to falling steel prices and other factors. Total revenue also decreased from ¥1,913,584 million in the prior year to ¥1,814,180 million. On the other hand, the company continued strategic investment in decarbonization initiatives, including its April 2025 investment in Electra Steel Inc. (US) to support electrolytic iron production, a raw material for Green Steel.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Increased handling volume related to automobile production, mainly in North America
- Efficiency gains from transferring and consolidating the domestic automotive steel sheet business into Toyotsu Metal Solutions Corp. (formerly Toyota Steel Center Co., Ltd.)
- Building a Green Steel supply chain and capturing new demand through investment in Electra Steel Inc. (US)
- Expansion of a sustainable, integrated supply chain including Africa, such as through the memorandum of understanding signed with the Namibian government at TICAD9
Risks
- Profit pressure from falling steel prices (a continuing major factor in the decrease in profit this period as well)
- Risk of fluctuation in automobile production volumes (dependence on the major customer, the Toyota Motor group)
- Changes to the free trade regime due to US tariff measures and their impact on North American automobile production
- Risk of erosion of yen-denominated revenue due to yen appreciation
