China Baowu Steel Group is the world's largest steel producer by crude-steel output, headquartered in Shanghai.
Named counterparties identified by open-source research and written only where a primary source states the relationship — never inferred from sector or co-mention. 1 supplier. This is a partial view: it covers the relationships we could evidence, not the company's full supply base.
CITIC Metal's SSE IPO prospectus (registered draft, 2023-03-14), p.1-1-16: '由于公司是CBMM在中国的独家分销商，宝钢集团、鞍钢集团、首钢集团、太钢集团通过投资CBMM获得的最低供应量保证不影响公司的独家分销身份，依然需通过中信金属采购' — Baosteel (now Baowu) Group holds a minimum-supply guarantee from CBMM (Brazil, ~80% of world niobium) obtained through the 2011 China Niobium consortium's 15% CBMM stake, but must still purchase that niobium through CITIC Metal, CBMM's exclusive distributor in China since 1998. No volume or value disclosed; the prospectus's FY2020 top-5 customer table lists 宝武集团下属公司 at RMB 1,987.35m / 2.60% of CITIC Metal's main-business revenue but for '黑色金属产品' (ferrous products), not niobium. related_party: false per the prospectus ('是否为关联方: 否').
Scope. Absence of a counterparty here is not evidence that none exists — most commercial sourcing is confidential and never becomes public. Rows without a share figure mean no share was disclosed, not that the relationship is small.
2 other tracked dossiers name this company as a counterparty in its own sourced disclosure — this platform never wrote these rows on this company's own page, they are read here inverted from the dossier that disclosed them. This is a partial view: 990 additional named-counterparty rows across the corpus could not be matched to a tracked dossier by name at all (mostly non-Latin legal names), so the true count is higher than what renders here.
CITIC Metal's own SSE IPO prospectus, p.1-1-16: '由于公司是CBMM在中国的独家分销商，宝钢集团、鞍钢集团、首钢集团、太钢集团通过投资CBMM获得的最低供应量保证不影响公司的独家分销身份，依然需通过中信金属采购' — Baosteel (now Baowu) Group's minimum-supply entitlement to CBMM niobium (via the 2011 China Niobium consortium) must still be purchased through CITIC Metal. Ansteel, Shougang and TISCO are named alongside. No niobium volume or value disclosed; the prospectus's FY2020 top-5 customer table lists 宝武集团下属公司 at RMB 1,987.35m / 2.60% of main-business revenue but for '黑色金属产品' (ferrous products), not niobium. related_party: false per the prospectus's own '是否为关联方: 否' for Baowu.
Baowu holds 46% of the Western Range iron-ore JV (Rio Tinto 54%, Pilbara) and separately signed an iron-ore sales agreement at market prices for up to 126.5 million tonnes over ~13 years -- its proportional share of the JV's ~275 million tonnes total anticipated production (~25 Mtpa). Per Rio Tinto's 15-Sep-2022 press release; recorded as customer for the offtake agreement, while also being a JV equity partner.
Scope. This section is inverted evidence: each linked dossier wrote the original row about itself, describing its own relationship to this company. It is never a claim this company itself disclosed. Absence here is not evidence of no relationship — most of the corpus has no named-counterparty block at all yet.
Every exposure is read as a buyer dependency; the top 3 are its binding chokepoints.
As a buyer, policy pressure across its consumed materials is flat.
Descriptive trend in official policy actions on this company’s materials — a policy-pressure trend, not a price or trading signal. No forward probability is implied. Direction is measured on actions we have discovered, and discovery lags events: where the recent window is too thin to support a calm reading, the row says coverage-limited instead of easing.
No actions in the register have named or swept this company in the last 24 months.
