HTVB’s 55%-owned jointly-controlled entity, ESSB, is principally engaged in the operation of a blast furnace, and production and sale of steel slabs with an annual production capacity of 700,000 mt.
ESSB temporarily suspended trial production in October 2015 as a strategy to minimize losses in view of the then depressed market for slabs, soft demand and the increased volatility of the foreign exchange rates.
Eastern steel want to resume operations with the help of Angang, now steel price is good, of course want to start the operation back, that blast furnace technology, only Eastern Steel and Ann Joo got it at the moments.
U see the buy is 1 shot 2.5 million at 0.34, the sell at 0.35 is 88 orders, u understand between those big kaki buying and other ignorant retailers or not
with the participation of Ansteel, the proposed transaction will allow ESSB to resume its production of slabs which was temporarily suspended in October 2015. The proposed transaction could expand ESSB's product range to include the production of hot rolled coil and could potentially increase its production capacity to 1,500,000 metric tonnes per annum
Ansteel group operates as one of the top five largest steel mills in China and its annual production capacity is around 40 million metric tons of crude steel with more than 200,000 employess.
Since 1950, Ansteel Group has become the nurseling centre for the steel industry's top management, executives, engineers and skilled steel industry workers in PRC. Up to this date, it has trained and transferred and/or seconded to other domestic steel mills about 30,000 skills steel industry workers.
As of the end of 2013, Ansteel Group had 5524 valid patents and 5193 proprietary technology records and won 11 national scientific and technological progress award
The strategy is simple, Ansteel has the capacity, technology and human capital. China is over produced, hence, with the Malaysia implementation of anti dumping act, I transfer everything and produce it at Eastern Steel sdn Bhd production facility at Malaysia, with that, I can compete with other big steel company like Ann Joo
HTVB will hold 45.83% of the enlarged share capital of Eastern Steel, Ansteel will hold 50%, Anstell became the tai ko in Eastern Steel, but Eastern Steel will transform from nothing (stop production) to some big player in steel industry of Malaysia
Ann Joo Integrated Steel Sdn Bhd (AJIS) incorporated in the year 2007, is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and trading of iron, steel and steel related products. The iron-making plant with an annual capacity of 500,000 metric tonnes is commissioned in year 2011 and consists of a 450m3 Blast Furnace and 75m2 Sinter Plant. It is the first modern Blast Furnace (BF) in Malaysia and is also the first and only in Southeast Asia combining the technology of BF and Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). The hybrid technology via hot metal charging into the EAF enables the manufacturing of high grade and engineering grade steel products of higher purity at a competitive cost besides achieving higher steel output, yield and substantial savings in electricity consumption. Balance of hot metal from BF will be casted into pig iron in the pig iron casting machine for own consumption or sale.
Ann Joo capacity is only 500,000 metric tonnes, this Eastern Steel alone, currently is 700,000 metric tonnes, expected to increase to 1.5 million metric tonnes
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
