A diversified manufacturer, Kobe Steel also makes aluminum, copper, and titanium products, and it produces welding products, such as welding robots, and industrial machinery, including compressors and crushers. The company, informally called Kobelco, also provides wholesale power supply, operating two power plants in Kobe. Kobe Steel's real estate division rents, manages, and sells properties. The company has begun supplying titanium for a variety of uses, including aerospace applications.
