AKA XII CO., LTD was founded in 2011, headquartered in Shanghai, China. For years we have been cultivating deep expertise across the steel value chain, starting from steel product trading and gradually building a diversified portfolio covering steel products, raw steel material, metallurgical products and chemical products.
Upstream, we have built deep partnerships with a number of medium and large steel mills and traders in China, forming a stable supply channel; downstream, we continue to build and expand our overseas market network, exporting steel products to Germany, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia and more than 20 countries and regions. We also import large volumes of iron ore, steel billet and other raw materials year-round, importing and exporting over 2 million tonnes of steel and ore products annually, participating deeply in the steel supply chain and pursuing win-win development with domestic steel mills.
As a quality supplier to steel mills at home and abroad, we also supply key equipment and materials, including mould assemblies, CSP lines, slab mould copper plates and tubes, ferroalloy blocks (cored wire) and casting powders, working with mills on project development and supporting supply.
We treat Professionalism, Efficiency and Reliability as the fundamental principles of our business and service — applied to every enquiry, every shipment and every delivery milestone.
We communicate with customers using truthful, transparent information. Traceable cargo, complete documentation and dependable delivery — we aim to be a partner you can rely on for the long term, not a one-off supplier.
We focus on steel. Our business is built around the international trade of steel products, semi-finished and raw materials, and metallurgical supplies. Rather than spreading thin, we go deep in every category we handle.
Years of deep involvement in the steel value chain give us a thorough understanding of the specifications, standards and applications of steel, raw materials and metallurgical supplies. From material selection to documentation, our experienced team provides professional support.
Starting from steel product trading, we progressively extended into raw material imports, metallurgical support and chemical products — expanding our business as customer needs evolve.
