Key Development:

United States: Recent Automotive Stainless‐Steel Tube Developments

✅ In October 2025, Cleveland‐Cliffs inaugurated a new $150 million stainless steel processing line in Ohio that will supply stainless steel for automotive components, including tubes for exhaust and structural parts, using a cleaner hydrogen-based finishing process.

✅ In July 2025, Triple‐S Steel Holdings acquired American Stainless Tubing, LLC (ASTI) from Ascent Industries for $16 million, expanding its stainless‐tube portfolio into high‐polish and ornamental grades.

✅ In June 2025, Ascent Industries completed the sale of American Stainless Tubing to First Tube (Triple‐S Steel), exiting the specialty tubing business altogether.

✅ In 2025, global automotive stainless‐steel tube makers allocated 40% of capex to advanced cold‐drawing and laser‐welding facilities, driven by demand from EVs and hydrogen vehicle systems.

Japan: Recent Automotive Stainless‐Steel Tube Developments

✅ In October 2025, JFE Steel began using CPS (Cyber‐Physical System) technology in its sintering operations to stabilize sinter quality, improve productivity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions part of its greener steelmaking push.

✅ In October 2025, Nippon Steel announced plans to merge three of its tube subsidiaries Nittetsu Katakura Steel Tube, Tsurumi Steel Tube, and Nippon Steel Fine Tube - to optimize operations amid shifting demand.

✅ In September 2025, JFE Steel's R&D facility started testing CO2 fixation via steel‐slag carbonation, aiming to scale a process that could reduce carbon emissions in its stainless steel operations.

✅ In June 2025, Nippon Steel completed its $14.9 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel, bringing the iconic American steelmaker under its umbrella, with a national security agreement granting the U.S. government a "golden share."

✅ In May 2025, JFE Holdings announced a ¥400 billion ( US$ 2.8 billion) overseas investment plan while scaling down some blast furnace capacity; part of its strategy is to shift stainless‐steel tube‐grade production into more efficient, greener facilities abroad.

✅ In April 2025, JFE Steel secured US$ 665 million in funding from the Japanese government (via GX transition bonds) to build a large electric‐arc furnace (EAF) in Kurashiki this furnace will support low-carbon production of high-grade stainless steel, including tubes.
