Steely resolve: Krosaki Harima focused on ESG best practices

Since it was established in 1918, Krosaki Harima Corporation has played a vital role supplying quality materials to Japan's main industries, especially the steel sector. Today, the company is mainly engaged in the manufacture of refractory materials, operating through its three main business segments: Refractories, Furnaces, and Ceramics.

There is a close relationship between the refractories and furnace segments in particular. In order to install an energy-saving furnace, appropriate refractories are essential, explains Kazuhiro Egawa, President of Krosaki Harima Corporation. In addition to this, in our traditional business segment, we are strengthening our advanced ceramics business to supply the semiconductor industry primarily, but also the aerospace and medical industries. We have unique advanced ceramics technology which shows high performance and function and we are expanding this business area not only in Japan, but also overseas.

Alongside the global expansion of ceramics business, the company already has several refractory companies worldwide, mainly driven by the significant demand in China and India for steel production.
