NSSMC received Shell’s Global Partner Award

Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC) and Sumitomo Corporation have jointly received the Global Partner Award during the Supplier Engagement Session hosted by Royal Dutch Shell plc (Shell) on November 18, 2015.

The Global Partner Award is one of the eight awards given during the Supplier Engagement Session which suppliers are invited to attend once a year. The Award is given to a supplier who greatly contributes to Shell’s oil and gas drilling business. NSSMC, the only pipe and tube company awarded this time, was commended for its excellent capabilities in product supply, product development, and making value added proposals cost competitiveness.  

NSSMC and Sumitomo Corp have had long-term contracts for oil country tubular goods (OCTG) with Shell for over four decades. We have contributed to Shell’s business by proposing total solutions which include stable supply of high-performance OCTGs, development of new products which match specific needs of Shell, and solid delivery service by use of Supply Chain Management (SCM). By making best use of our technology and services, we will be further committed to contribute to oil and gas development efforts, which are becoming increasingly difficult and advanced.
