Korea Steel Co., Ltd. Korea Steel Co., Ltd. (007280.KS) manufactures and sells a range of steel products in South Korea and internationally, including shaped steel materials such as equal angles, unequal angles, channels, checked channels, elevator rails, and profiles; steel bars comprising round bars, screw reinforcing bars, square bars, and flat bars; reinforcing bars in grades SD300, SD400, SD500, SD600, and SD700 including variants like SD400W, SD500W, SD400S, SD500S, SD600S, and SD700S; billets with specifications from 120 to 180x220 millimeters; rolled steels for welded structures such as SM275A/B and SM355A/B; carbon steels for machine structures including SM20C and SM45C; and grating products, serving downstream industries like construction, shipbuilding, automobiles, and machinery. Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Haman-gun, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, the company operates primarily in the domestic market with export activities and maintains production facilities including the Chilseo Steel Works equipped with advanced refining technologies like VD (Vacuum Degasser) for high-quality outputs up to one million tons of billets annually. In March 2021, the company changed its name from Korea Steel Shapes Co., Ltd. to Korea Steel Co., Ltd., reflecting a strategic rebranding; it has continued expansions such as completing the Chilseo factory, securing quality competitiveness awards for 15 consecutive years, and signing MOUs for facility investments in Haman-gun while focusing on new product development in rolled steels for welded structures, shipbuilding, and machine applications.
