Synopsis : The roles of the steel industry in the expanding construction materials market are: (1) to develop steels suitable as construction materials, (2) to manufacture high value added processed steel products, and (3) to increase the percentage of steel used in construction. Kawasaki Steel Corp. and its affiliates in the construction-materials business will promote both: materials for general construction, such as buildings systems, and construction components such as roofing, curtain walls, and floors, based on a functional division of roles among the companies and the Kawasaki Steel Group's overall strategy. The Kawasaki Steel Group is now expanding the Kawasaki Steel Design Plaza and its construction material research facilities to cope with the technical problems involved in supplying construction materials, which include enhanced design capability and more rational construction technology. |
