POSCO, NIPPON STEEL COOL ON ASIAN EXPANSIONS

摘要

Posco and Nippon Steel are playing down suggestions that north Asia's two largest steelmakers are planning closer involvement in Southeast Asia. Yet neither mill dismisses the possibility entirely. The speculation springs from comments Nippon Steel president Akio Mimura made to Japan's Nihon Keizai Shimbun. They were published 13 November and referto Posco's cold"rolling mill project in Vietnam, and Nippon Steel's plans for coated sheet in Thailand.
