 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Entrust Partners for Japanese Subsidiary

 PROFILE
Nippon Steel is the world's leading steel producer. Steel products account for more than 60% of the company's sales and include plates, sheets, pipes, and tubes, as well as specialty, processed, and fabricated steel products. Nippon Steel's operations include engineering, construction, chemicals, nonferrous metals, ceramics, electronics, information and communications, and urban development. The company also provides energy, finance, and insurance services. With sales and profits down due to a weak Japanese economy and antidumping petitions in the US, Nippon Steel plans to place more emphasis on its engineering and energy businesses. Japan accounts for 80% of sales.
