Company developments

[edit]

The company was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1999.[3]

In 2005, Netherlands-registered Mittal Steel bought a 37.17% stake in Hunan Valin Steel Tube Wire, a subsidiary of Valin, for US$314m. The agreement marked the first investment by a major foreign steelmaker into an established Chinese steel company, and was regarded as a sign of the growing interest from foreign companies to get involved in the Chinese market.[4]

In 2009, Hunan Valin Steel acquired a 16.5% stake in Australia's third biggest iron ore producer at the time, Fortescue Metals, for US$771 million.[5] Through the acquisition, Valin Steel hoped for better access to Australia's mineral resource market.[5]

Mittal Steel agreed to a joint venture with Hunan Valin Steel in 2014 to enter the Chinese car market.[6] The joint venture went operational in June 2014 with an estimated annual production capacity of 1.5 million tonnes, producing various metal parts for chassis and wheels. According to a Mittal statement, the venture would supply steel to both international and domestic Chinese car makers, including Geely Automotive Holdings, Dongfeng Motor Group and Shanghai Auto.[6]

Hunan Valin announced a major company restructuring in 2016, publishing plans to shift into financial services and electricity generation due to overcapacity in the Chinese steel market and reduced profits.[7] To do so, the company plans to seek stakes in a number of financial and electricity companies, such as a 100% stake in Fortune Securities, a 96% stake in Hunan Trust, a 29.19% stake in Jixiang Life Insurance, a 100% stake in Xiangtan Valin Energy Saving Power Generation, as well as a 100% stake in Hunan Valin Energy Saving Power Generation.[7]

This decision caused ArcelorMittal to transfer roughly 10% of its shares in Hunan Valin Steel, worth 1.1 billion yuan ($165.9 million), to the state-owned China Reform Fund.[8] This represents ArcelorMittal's entire stake in Hunan Valin Steel.[9]
