Union Steel

In 1986, it became the first to deploy exclusive facilities for manufacturing galvalume steel sheets. Also, the completion of the facilities having annual output capacity of 200,000 tons of electric galvanized steel sheets further laid the foundation for UNION STEEL to become a manufacturer specializing in the production of coated steel sheets. In... 1997, the company established Changjiang Metal (in Wuxi City) and UNION STEEL China (in Jiangyin City), thereby becoming the first Korean steel manufacturer to successfully advance into the large Chinese market. Following the completion of the latest PLTCM (Pickling Line and Tandem Cold Mill) in 2007, UNION STEEL continued to expand its CGL (Continuous Galvanizing Line) for hot-dip galvanized steel and CCL (Color Coating Line) for product-specific colored steel sheets. UNION STEEL's technological prowess in producing coated steel sheets, which is the result of 50 years of hard work, helped its colored steel sheets for home appliances gain global recognition as a top product in 2010, and gave birth to LUXTEEL, the premium colored steel sheet. UNION STEEL has its head office located in Ferrum Tower, Seoul and a main plant covering an impressive 110,000 pyeong (1 pyeong is equivalent to 3.3 square meters) in Busan. Its annual production capacity has grown to 15 times of its original capacity to mark 1.8 million tons, and its sales have also recorded continuous growth to reach KRW1.94 trillion at present. By forming a global production network that spans Asia, America, and Europe, UNION STEEL is tapping into the world's largest markets. Changjiang Metal in Wuxi City produces cold-rolled steel sheets, while UNION STEEL China in Jiangyin City churns out plated steel sheets and colored steel sheets. In order to deliver high-quality products on time, UNION STEEL established overseas coil centers in Mexico, India, and Thailand, and has been operating branches in the US, Japan, and China.
