Nippon Steel Corporation - Nippon Steel Corporation

Japanese: 日本製鉄[株] - にっぽんせいてつ

A semi-public steel trust established in 1934. Initially it was the government-run Yawata Steel Works, and the privately-owned Kamaishi Mines, Mitsubishi Steel, Wanishi Steel, Fuji Steel, and Kyushu Steel, with Toyo Steel joining later, before acquiring Osaka Steel in 1936. At the time of its establishment it monopolized 97% of the nation's pig iron production, but as the major open hearth companies did not participate it only accounted for 51% of steel ingots and 43% of steel products. However, during the wartime system it played an important role as the core of Japan's steel industry in supplying military supplies. In 1950, under the Act to Eliminate Excessive Concentration of Economic Power, it was split up into the Yawata Steel Works, Fuji Steel, and others. →Nippon Steel Corporation

1934年設立された半官半民の鉄鋼トラスト。当初官営八幡製鉄所と民間の釜石鉱山・三菱製鉄・輪西製鉄・富士製鋼・九州製鋼，遅れて東洋製鉄が参加，1936年大阪製鉄を買収。成立時で銑鉄は全国生産の97％を独占したが，主要平炉会社が不参加となったため鋼塊は51％，鋼材は43％にとどまった。しかし戦時体制下日本鉄鋼業の中核として軍需資材供給に重要な役割を果たした。1950年，〈過度経済力集中排除法〉によって八幡製鉄所・富士製鉄などに分割。→新日本製鐵［株］
