China Steel Corporation
 PROFILE
There's a lot of steel on China Steel's plate. Taiwan's only integrated steelmaker, the company makes products used in items ranging from hand tools to bridges. Its steel plates go into ships; wire rods become nuts, bolts, and hand tools; steel sheets end up as auto parts; and cold-rolled coils are used in steel furniture and home appliances. China Steel, which conducts some 80% of its business in Taiwan, began as a private enterprise, later became a state-owned corporation, and then was privatized (although the government retains more than 40% of the company). The economically troubled Asian market has forced the company to adjust prices and reduce production.
