POSCO Holdings Inc. serves as the overarching operating holding company for South Korea's premier industrial conglomerate, originating from the integrated steelmaker Pohang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. founded in 1968. Following its corporate governance transition in March 2022, the holding entity oversees major subsidiaries including the unlisted steel operating arm POSCO, POSCO International (trading, natural gas E&P, and energy infrastructure), POSCO E&C (engineering and construction), and POSCO Future M (secondary battery anode and cathode materials).
Consolidated revenue continues to be dominated by the steel segment (typically generating over 50-60% of total revenue), followed by global infrastructure and eco-friendly infrastructure operations (such as energy trading, LNG logistics, and civil engineering) and green materials (battery chemicals, lithium refining, and recycling). The company operates integrated steel complexes in Pohang and Gwangyang in South Korea, alongside manufacturing and processing joint ventures across Asia, the Americas, and Europe. POSCO Holdings is distinguished by its technological leadership in high-value automotive steel, electrical steel sheets for electric vehicles, and ambitious capital investments into next-generation battery raw materials and carbon-neutral hydrogen-based direct reduction ironmaking.
