Nippon Steel Visit 2008
On Thursday 30 October 20 NCCJ members made a trip to the Nippon Steel plant in Chiba, located on the other side of Yokohama in Tokyo bay. The name of this plant is Kimitsu and by far Nippon’s steel largest plant with a crude steel production over 10.661 tons and a workforce of 3.285. In the Netherlands the former Hoogovens (now days Corus) plant is well known. Imagine that the size of this plant is almost 3 times larger. The group left by bus from the embassy and arrived around 14.00 in Kimitsu. First a very interesting introduction film and a short presentation was given about the plant and the production process.
