Paul Wurth IHI Co., Ltd., a 50-50 Joint-Venture corporation in the field of iron and cokemaking technology was incorporated in Japan in 2012 with the founding spirit to bring together the two partners on an equal footing.
Paul Wurth S.A., headquartered in Luxembourg, is a leading player in the global market for the design and supply of the full range of technological solutions for the primary stage of integrated steelmaking.
IHI Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, is a Japanese manufacturer of heavy industries, having supplied a large number of blast furnaces in and outside of Japan.
Both companies have similar backgrounds: known to be high-technology and quality-oriented, offering a full range of globally proven products, and having similar company traditions, core values and long-term business perspectives.
Since its establishment, the Joint-Venture has been receiving orders mainly in Japan for coke oven batteries, coke oven machines and blast furnace auxiliaries such as pulverized coal injection, slag granulation and top charging equipment. Our market share has been significantly expanded by meeting the needs of our customers through tailor-made products and services which are based on our advanced technical know-how and the vast engineering, procurement and sales networks of both Paul Wurth and IHI.
We, Paul Wurth IHI Co., Ltd., will keep providing state-of-the-art technology worldwide from Japan.
