JFE Bars & Shapes Himeji Works steel plant (姫路製造所), also known as JFE NKK Joukou, is a steel plant in Himeji, Hyogo, Japan that operates electric arc furnace (EAF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Himeji, Hyogo, Japan:
- Location: 1280, Hosoe, Shikama-ku, Himeji-shi, Hyogo, 672-8064, Japan
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 34.784113, 134.658493 (exact)
Background
The Himeji works began operating in 2005.[1] The plant operates a 140 tonne Ecoarc EAF with an annual capacity of around 900 ttpa.[2][3]
In November 2023, JFE Bars & Shapes announced that they have signed a contract with major Italian steel plant engineering company Danieli for the delivery of Danieli’s next generation power supply system for steelmaking called ‘Q-ONE’ for their 150 tonne EAF at Himeji Works.[4] It will be installed by mid-2025 and is expected to improve energy and production efficiency by approx. 10%.[5]
