- Hang Zhou Iron & Steel Co.,Ltd. (600126.SS) manufactures and sells steel products principally in China. The company produces hot-rolled steel coils and hot-rolled steel plates; engages in black metal smelting and calendering processes; trades raw materials, fuels, metals, and recycled resources; and participates in scrapped automobile dismantling and ancillary steel trading activities. Its products serve industries including construction, engineering, automotive structures, home appliances, containers, and mechanical processing, with sales primarily in China and minor overseas exports. Founded in 1957 and headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the company operates through subsidiaries such as Ningbo Iron & Steel Co.,Ltd., which supports pig iron, crude steel, and hot-rolled coil production capacities exceeding 4 million tons annually; Zhejiang Cloud Computing for digital initiatives; and other units focused on resource recycling and trading, generating significant revenue from recycled resources at 30.03 billion CNY in 2024. Recent developments include plans announced in August 2025 to sell stakes in certain units as part of strategic restructuring; a reported widening of first-half 2025 net loss amid a 12% revenue decline due to persistent low steel prices and industry pressures; and anticipation of a full-year 2024 net loss of approximately 630 million CNY following sluggish domestic market conditions.
