About WISCO

Wuhan Iron and Steel (WISCO), part of China Baowu Steel Group, has been in continuous production since 1958 as the first large-scale integrated steelworks built after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Its Qingshan site covers 21 square kilometres and produces 16 million tonnes of steel a year. WISCO led the drafting of GB/T 712, China's first internationally-aligned standard for shipbuilding steel, in 1979, and its hot-rolled ship plate holds the "China Famous Brand Product" designation, with annual ship plate sales of 400,000 to 500,000 tonnes. China Baowu Group was ranked first globally for technical competitiveness among steel producers in a 2022 industry assessment linked to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
