Facing weak global stainless steel demand and intensifying competition from low-priced Chinese and Indonesian products, Chinese Taiwan's Yusco reported continued operating pressure last year despite ongoing cost optimization and order quality improvements. The company remains cautiously optimistic, believing demand will gradually recover as global economic and geopolitical uncertainties ease. Yusco has launched a comprehensive transformation strategy built on three pillars — low-carbon production, smart manufacturing, and high-value-added products — and has established a dedicated AI Intelligence Department to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence and big data technologies across its operations, while continuing to strengthen competitiveness through niche product development.
