CSI's Shareholders

In 1984, after the closure of Kaiser Steel's facilities, the need to establish a viable West Coast steel source in the U. S. brought together two of the world's biggest participants in the steel industry: Japan's JFE Steel Corporation and Brazil's Vale. 

JFE Steel, headquartered in Tokyo, is a major steel producer in Japan.

Vale, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, is the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter, and the world's largest mineral-based conglomerate.
