Its board of directors issued a resolution approving the plan on Friday, under which its CEO was tasked with assessing feasibility and submitting a detailed proposal.

The task will be carried out on the basis of evaluating and selecting joint‑venture partners with technical capability and industry experience, according to the resolution.

The company will maximize its existing production capabilities while investing in new, modern equipment aimed at products for the industrial and food packaging sectors, for both domestic and export markets in the initial phase.

The next phase targets collaboration and development with technically and technologically capable partners through the joint venture model to produce nickel‑coated steel for electric‑vehicle battery shells.
