Japan's Nippon Steel Delays Blast Furnace Restart

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Nippon Steel Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) will postpone the restart of its No. 3 blast furnace at its Nagoya Steel Works in Tokai City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, which is undergoing rebuilding work.

Although the rebuild is set to be finished by the end of this month, the plant largely supplies the automotive market, which has been sluggish, so the facility's restart will be delayed. The timing of the resumption of operations will be determined after assessing the future supply-demand situation.
