The Japan Steel Works, Ltd.
 PROFILE
At Japan Steel Works (JSW), steel is only the tip of the iceberg. Industrial and plastic processing machinery together account for more than 65% of JSW's sales. The company makes steel castings and forgings, steel plates, pressure vessels, and steel structures. It also manages and sells real estate. JSW's customers range from shipbuilders and manufacturers to the chemical, petrochemicals, and utilities industries. Both sales and income have declined at JSW, largely due to falling sales in the steel segment. Seeking to further diversify, the company is developing new technologies in the advanced materials, optics, magnetics, electronics, and biotechnology fields. JSW sells more than 90% of its products in Japan.
