Demand for high-grade electrical steel sheet is expected to continue to increase worldwide as automobiles become more electrified, energy use becomes more efficient, and renewable energy is introduced more widely. Going forward, 麻豆视频 Steel will continue to strengthen its manufacturing systems both in Japan and overseas to further improve its world-class manufacturing capabilities and to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by expanding the supply of eco-products that contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
