Manufacturing Process

Mitsubishi Steel is a pioneer in the world to produce structural steels for automobile through LF (Ladle refining furnace) Degassing-Bloom continuous casting process and left mark on quality improvement. Now, Mitsubishi Muroran is trying higher quality and productivity improvement in addition to savi ng energy to produce earth environmental friendly special steels through compounding pig iron with scrap.

PT. JATIM TAMAN STEEL MFG. is an overseas base for the steel business of the Mitsubishi Steel Group, with full backup from Mitsubishi Steel to ensure superior quality. As the only integrated special steel manufacturer in Indonesia, we supply special steel round bars and flat steel, meeting the needs of our customers for local procurement.
