Building a Movement for Long-Term Partnerships in the Energy Transition
The energy transition demands more than innovation, investment, and resilience—it calls for a new way of working across the entire value chain. No single company can meet this challenge alone. What is needed is a movement: a shift from short-term transactions to long-term partnerships that strengthen the foundations of our industry and accelerate global progress.
That is why we are proud of our strategic collaboration between thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel (TKES) and JFE Shoji Corporation. Together, we share a clear commitment to supporting the global transformer sector and building the energy systems of tomorrow.
This partnership is built on a long-term vision: to continuously explore new ways of working together, to meet the world’s growing demand for electrical energy, and to deliver the critical equipment—like transformers—that make it possible.
But this is about more than just two companies. It is an invitation to the industry—to customers, suppliers, electrical utilities, and stakeholders across the transformer ecosystem—to join in this movement. Utilities, in particular, play a pivotal role. As the driving force of electrification, your long-term perspective and investment choices can inspire the rest of the value chain to follow, ensuring that innovation and resilience keep pace with demand.
Our collaboration will focus on:
- Strengthening supply chain resilience and sustainability, ensuring long-term security of supply for grain-oriented electrical steels and fabricated components.
- Driving market-led innovation through technical cooperation, combining the expertise of both companies.
- Engaging broadly with industry stakeholders, shaping the future of the transformer sector.
By working side by side, TKES and JFE Shoji are taking a step toward this industry-wide shift.
We invite you to join this mission.
