The Leadership JSW Steel (USA) Inc., marks the newest international foray of the JSW group and its first major footprint in North America. The facility is America’s premier large diameter line pipe and ultrawide plate mill which motivates us to cultivate it into a global leader. Our first task has been a major upgrade and expansion of manufacturing capabilities, for which a large investment program was undertaken.

Simultaneously, we are remodeling the governance cycle of the organization to fit JSW global standards and matching it with process upgrades aimed at streamlining operations. The US operation has reoriented itself to the core value system of JSW which has won us global recognition.

We will aggressively seek out opportunities in the American and global economies and develop our product line and processes to offer better product solutions to our customers. We enjoy a

multi-disciplined knowledge of our business that is rich and deep and would keenly use it to create mutually rewarding customer relationships. Value delivery is central to the JSW way and we are committed to providing flexible, fully satisfying responses to customer expectations.

I believe this is just the beginning of exciting times. For me, each day unfolds a new promise of opportunity, new challenges.

And every opportunity, every challenge, only fuels our hunger for excellence, growth and leadership.
