Headquartered in Anshan, Liaoning Province, China, Angang Steel was established in 1997 as a subsidiary of Anshan Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd., with principal operations concentrated in China across its Anshan and Bayuquan production bases, serving industries such as machinery, automotive, shipbuilding, construction, railways, petroleum, appliances, and aviation.
In recent developments, the company's controlling shareholder, Anshan Iron & Steel, announced plans in April 2025 to increase its holdings by 1-2 billion yuan through centralized bidding over the subsequent six months, reinforcing its 53.54% stake amid market stabilization efforts in the steel sector. Ansteel Group, the parent entity, received a free transfer of 7% equity in Lingyuan Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. in 2024, enhancing regional industrial chain coordination and supply chain synergies; this follows the 2021 merger with Benxi Iron & Steel, bolstering production scale.
