A Proud Nation Builder



The National Iron and Steel Mills Ltd (NISM) was incorporated on 12 August 1961 to manufacture and produce iron and steel products for Singapore, Malaysia and the region.

Over the years, it built a tradition of production excellence and innovation, pioneering the following:

1970 Installation of the first fume extractor systems in the region to minimise air pollution and improve working conditions for our workers
1973 The National Iron Foundation to provide endowments and grant scholarships to deserving students.




Tasked to support Singapore’s nation-building efforts, NISM's products were used in most construction projects island-wide, such as HDB flats, MRT lines, Changi Airport Terminal 1 and OCBC Building.

In 1990, NISM changed its name to “NatSteel”. Backed by profitable operations and a healthy balance sheet, it began to internationalise its operations. By the start of the 21st century, it had established a strategic footprint in the growing economies of the Asia Pacific as well as built a premium brand name, NatSteel, widely respected for its quality products and expertise.

In 2004, NatSteel Asia (Singapore) Pte Ltd was incorporated — it was the steel business in Singapore which was divested by NatSteel and later renamed as NatSteel Asia Pte Ltd.

A new exciting chapter began in February 2005, when NatSteel Asia was sold to Tata Steel in India, one of the most profitable steel companies in the world. Together, we have forged a partnership built on complementary strengths and purposes. And as part of Tata Steel, we are in a unique position to tap growth opportunities in Asia and create a formidable pan-Asian steel group.

The entire business of NatSteel Asia Pte Ltd was transferred to NatSteel Holdings Pte Ltd from 1 August 2008 as part of Tata Steel Limited's internal restructuring exercise of its Asia-Pacific subsidiaries.
