KEU is to continue the business activities of KME, while strengthening the management of Kobe Steel’s operations in Europe, starting with corporate governance and compliance.
With a remit to further promote coordination among the Kobe Steel companies in the region, KEU will also be responsible for the group’s locations in the Middle East.
The Japanese group has 10 locations in five countries in Europe and in recent years, has been accelerating business development in the region.
