Nippon Steel Corporation
Nippon Steel Corporation ("Nippon Steel") held a ceremony to commemorate 60
years of supplying tinplate (for Can) to Dole Packaged Foods ("Dole") in Singapore in October
2022. Since Nippon Steel began working with Dole in Hawaii in 1962, we have delivered a cumulative total
of more than 2.2 million tons of tinplate, accounting for a 100% share.
At the commemorative ceremony, Nippon Steel and Dole reflected on the companies' shared history, such as
the development and adoption of advanced technologies, including those for thinner plates for can
containers, environmentally friendly chromate-free tinplate (our trademark "EZP™"), and
easy open ends (can lids). With the aim of further strengthening our relationship, both companies agreed
to enhance our joint initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality, and ultimately to realize a sustainable
society, in addition to ensuring stable supply of high-quality tinplate, developing products utilizing
Nippon Steel's technologies, and reducing costs for both companies.
Nippon Steel will continue to improve our technological capabilities and ability to propose services to
support the development of the food industry and to help improve people's living standards by supplying
tinplate, a material used for can products, which are suitable for the long-term preservation of food
products.
