Basic Information
China Steel Corporation (CSC), located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, was established in December 1971. Its annual capacity of crude steel is about 10 million metric tons. The main products are steel plates, bars, wire rods, hot-rolled and cold-rolled coils, electrogalvanized coils, electrical steel coils, and hot-dip galvanized steel coils. It is currently the largest domestic steel manufacturer with a domestic market share of more than 50%. About 57.4% of its products are domestically consumed and 42.6% exported mostly to Southeast Asia, Europe, and Japan.
CSC is highly committed to innovation and excels in its effective implementation. The company’s vision is “We aspire to be a sustainable growth enterprise that distinguishes itself through a firm commitment to smart innovation, green energy, carbon reduction, and value co-creation.” CSC actively upholds its corporate values of “teamwork, entrepreneurial approach, down-to-earthness, and pursuit of innovation”, as well as its operational concepts of “promotion of social well-being, result orientation, implementation of teamwork, and emphasis on employees’ self-realization.” In addition to continuing to strengthen its core steel business, CSC is also committed to supporting downstream industries to upgrade and enhance the overall international competitiveness of the steel industry.
CSC has received numerous awards over the years, including the 2nd National Quality Award from the Executive Yuan in 1991, the 17th National Industrial Innovation Award from MOEA in 2009, the Leading Company Award from the World Steel Association due to its excellent performance in production maintenance and sustainable operations in 2013, and its inclusion as a constituent of the FTSE4Good Emerging Index since 2017. It has also continuously received multiple corporate sustainability awards from the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy since 2021, including the “Taiwan Sustainability Action Award,” “The Most Prestigious Sustainability Awards-Top Ten Domestic Corporates,” and the “2023 Asia-Pacific and Taiwan Sustainability Action Award.” In 2024, it was selected as a component stock of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) in both the “World Index” and the “Emerging Markets Index,” and was also recognized as a Sustainability Champion by the World Steel Association, and received the “2024 National Sustainable Development Award” from the Executive Yuan’s National Council for Sustainable Development. All of the aforementioned awards demonstrate CSC is well recognized domestically and internationally in terms of its R&D innovations, production maintenance, and sustainable development.
To maximize operational synergy, CSC has diversified and reinvested in a total of 22 subsidiaries. Its business operations cover five major domains, including steel, engineering, industrial materials, logistics & investment, and green energy, all of which constitute the CSC Group. Additionally, CSC focuses on dual-cores—to become a high-value premium steel plant and to develop in the green energy industry—and three transformations—digital transformation, low-carbon transformation, and supply chain transformation—as key operation strategies for enhancing competitiveness. It is committed to driving various strategic initiatives and action plans to strengthen its business structure and resilience, lead the domestic steel industry in enhancing international competitiveness, and collaborate with all stakeholders to create value and share achievements.

Prodcution Flow Chart |
-
Steel Plates
Steel plates are mainly used in construction structures, shipbuilding, bridge beams, oil country tabular goods (OCTGs), machine structures, pressure vessels and in climate/corrosion-resistant steel plates. Process control capability is good, and thickness and flatness are well above international specifications and standards. -
Steel Bars and Wire Rods
Steel bars and wire rods are mainly used in general structures, machine structures, cold forging, hot forging, hard drawn steel wire and welding electrodes. -
Hot-Rolled Coils and Sheets
Hot-rolled coils and sheets possess good strength, excellent resiliency, are easily processed, have good weldability, and are easily combined with other metals. They are widely used in automobile chassis, bridge beams, construction, road guardrails, steel pipe, pressure vessels and landscaping. -
Cold-Rolled Coils
Cold-rolled coils can be used in products requiring attractive exteriors, such as automobile stamping parts and home electronics products; parts requiring high-level forming, such as automobile and scooter components; a variety of PSE and structural reinforcement parts; and products requiring surface coating treatment, such as painting, electroplating and the application of adhesive surfaces. -
Coated Steel Products
The coated steel series includes color coils used in roofing, home electronics, kitchen utensils, transport industry and interior decorating; electrical steel coils used to fabricate cores for motors, transformers, voltage stabilizers, relays and electricity meters; electro-galvanized coils used in thermal painting and adhesive films; and hot-dip galvanized coils used in computer cases, automobile stamping parts and home electronics parts. -
