## History

[edit]

The predecessor of Nanjing Iron and Steel Group was founded in 1958 as a steel plant. It was one of the 18 small-sized steel plants established in 18 provinces of China.[2] In 1996 the plant was incorporated as Nanjing Iron and Steel Group Corp., Ltd.. It was one of the 512 important state-owned enterprises in 1997. (1 of 47 iron and steel industry)[3] In 1999, the major assets of the group was reincorporated as Nanjing Iron and Steel Company (NISCO), which was listed to Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2000.[4] The group retained some assets such as logistic company and hospital.[4] In 2003, Nanjing Iron and Steel Group injected the stake of NISCO to a new intermediate holding company formed with the consortium of Fosun High Technology and its parent company Guangxin Technology (Chinese: 广信科技). Nanjing Iron and Steel Group owned 40% stake of the new intermediate holding company, Nanjing Nangang Iron & Steel United in exchange.

In 2000 Nanjing Iron and Steel Group acquired the controlling interests in Huaigang Group. After capital increase, it was diluted to 26.15%. The stake was transferred back to Huai'an Municipal People's Government in 2005. A CN¥10 million investment by Nanjing Iron and Steel Group on Huaigang Group was also refurbished by Huai'an Government to Nanjing Government in the same year.[5]

In 2010, the residual unlisted steel manufacturing assets of Nanjing Nangang Iron & Steel United was injected to the listed company Nanjing Iron and Steel Company.

In 2014, Nanjing Iron and Steel Group made a public offer to sell 100% stake of its subsidiary Nanjing Sanjin Real Estate Development (Chinese: 南京三金房地产开发) for CN¥170 million.[6] However, no firm willing to buy the subsidiary. In 2016, another subsidiary Xinlei (Chinese: 鑫磊)[7] was sold to Modern Land (China) (SEHK: 1107) for CN¥340 million.[8]

On 31 December 2015, Nanjing Iron and Steel Group regained 10% voting rights on the joint venture by signing an agreement to act as a proxy for a subsidiary of Fosun International. (SEHK: 656, Fosun Intl. itself was a new intermediate holding company for the owners of Guangxin Technology)[9]
