Japanese steel trading and distribution company Tetsusho Corporation, a subsidiary of Nippon Steel Corporation, has announced the opening of three subsidiaries in India, Vietnam and Bangladesh, marking a significant expansion of its presence in the fast-growing steel and manufacturing markets in Asia.
Increased presence in developing Asian countries
According to the company, new offices have been opened in Mumbai (India's commercial center on the west coast), Da Nang (a key industrial center in central Vietnam) and Dhaka (the capital of Bangladesh). All three subsidiaries are already operational as of October 2025.
The move aims to deepen Tetsusho's involvement in local and triangular trade, as well as promote faster and more flexible supply chains to meet the growing demand for steel and steel products in South and Southeast Asia.
With these additions, Tetsusho Kayaba now operates in seven countries, in addition to its existing overseas bases in South Korea, Indonesia, China, and Sri Lanka.
Founded in 1957 and headquartered in Tokyo's Chuo-ku district, Tetsusho has grown from a domestic steel distributor to a diversified international trading company. The company supplies a wide range of steel and specialty products, including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized and stainless steel, from major Japanese manufacturers such as Nippon Steel Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation Global Metals (SCGM).
