Jiangsu Shagang Group Corporation Limited, also known as Jiangsu Shagang Group, Shagang Group or Shasteel is a private-owned iron and steel company headquartered in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, China, an Economic Development Zone of the Yangtze River. [1]

History

Formerly "Jiangsu Shagang Group Company", it was established in 1975 with self-financing of only 450,000 Renminbi.[2]

The company drew the world's attention in 2001 when it acquired a steel mill (the Dortmund-Hörde plant) from German industrial giant ThyssenKrupp for 30 million euros and shipped its equipment to China where it was reassembled and resumed operation.[3]

In 2016, the Group headed a consortium that acquired London-based international data center Global Switch Holdings for £2.4 billion (HK$23.03 billion).[4] The consortium bought a 49 percent stake in the company in order to expand Global Switch Holding's strategic infrastructure.[4]

Due to ongoing overcapacity within the steel sector, Jiangsu Shagang Group purchased two internet data firms for $3.8 billion, as part of an attempt to expand into new industries for diversification.[5] The June 2017 deal targets Jiangsu Qingfeng Investment Management Co. Ltd. and Beijing Daily Tech Co. Ltd.[5]
