POSCO, the country’s largest steel maker, decided Friday to close some of its ineffective subsidiaries over the next three years to strengthen its finances.
Its restructuring plan was decided at the first meeting of its board members after Chairman Kwon Oh-joon’s inauguration early this year.
Out of the current 46 affiliates, more than 10 money-losing ones in non-core areas will be subject to disposal or merger as part of the firm’s desperate bid to address its recent poor performance.
Toward that end, the conglomerate is set to classify its units into seven groups of steel, energy, materials, infrastructures, trade, services and others.
