Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Nippon Steel Stainless Steel Corporation (NSSC) has merged with NSC. NSC became the surviving company and NSSC is the dissolving company. The merger is effective on April 1, 2025.
The decision was due to lower domestic demand caused by factors such as population decrease and automobile electrification, the long-term problem of overcapacity in Asian markets, as well as social and industrial structural changes aimed at decarbonization, so the business environment was expected to become more severe.
Through the merger, the company will strive to achieve maximum synergy as soon as possible and further increase profits.
The merger will be effective on April 1, 2025. It will be an absorption-type merger, so NSSC will be dissolved after the merger.
