Hyundai Steel Company, a key player in the South Korean steel industry since its inception in 1953, has recently solidified its position as a global specialist of wide flange beams and sheet piles, driven by a series of mergers and acquisitions such as acquiring Kangwon Industry and Sammi Steel in 2000, broadening its global market share greatly in the field.
The wide flange beams from the company are known for high quality strength and shock-absorbency, and are used in structural frames for their convenience in welding.
They are usually used as beams or columns for skyscrapers, factories, warehouses, hangars and gymnasiums. They are also used as footing piles for building, subways and bridges, as well as in building steel framed apartments, schools, and small-tomedium sized arcades and houses.
Lately, demand for wide flange beams in developed countries is increasing, as the need for earthquake-proof buildings is increasingly rising to prevent enormous casualties especially in earthquakeprone areas. In particular, high strength wide flange beams, weathering wide flange shapes and rolled wide flange shapes for structural construction are high value-added products that require sophisticated technologies and quality management. These products have a superior position in quality competitions in the global market. Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Chinesespeaking nations are currently among the company’s sought-after trading partners list.
