Tisco was an indian company the last time i checked!!!
Hi Anonymous
Tisco mentioned above is Taiyuan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd of China. Indian company Tata Steel also known as Tisco in India has been known as Tata Corus worldwide since its acquisition of Corus. Also Tata Corus is not into manufacturing Stainless steel, which is a very niche segment and some analyst even don't consider it under steel industry.
Hope this make things better.
Hello FinManAc,
May I ask you where you have your information from? I am looking for statistics with respect to top stainless steel producers...
Hi Sabi
The data was collected from the annual reports of the major SS producers, i.e. ThyssenKrupp, Acerinox, Outokumpu etc.
By the way, the above stated companies are 11, not 10...
Right anonymous, these are 11 companies. There was some ambiguity in the rank 10 & 11 at the time of publishing, hence I had included both. Thanks for pointing it out.
Is JSL anywhere near?
