Background
The Aichi Steel Chita plant (Tokai) began operating in 1943 under Aichi Steel.[1]
In 2016, an explosion at the plant damaged the furnace of the No.2 Bar Mill Shop and had to suspend operations temporarily. Luckily, it seems that no employees were injured.[2][3]
In March 2023, the plant announced the expansion of its stainless steel production capacity by 40% to an annual capacity of 90 ttpa by 2026.[4]
In 2023, Steel Plantech renovated Aichi steel plant's EAF #1.[5]
