The Baoshan Iron & Steel "Phase III Construction Project" that commenced in 1993 resulted in production capacity at the facility, which is located in Shanghai, China, increasing by almost 50% (from 28 million tonnes/year to 40 million tonnes/year).
Baoshan decided to continue investing in the phase-three project in May 1997 in response to the country's continuing growing demand for high-quality cold rolled steel sheet, which is in turn caused by China's rapid rate of economic development.
Baoshan selected NKK Corporation to build the 700/300 million tonnes/year continuous annealing and processing line (C.A.P.L.), electrolytic tinning line and coil preparation line of the mill.
Hewn from a rock on a ridge above steep, terraced rice fields and the Upper Yangtze River, Baoshan Stone City is nearly as isolated as it was 700 to 800 years ago when it was built as a fortification during the Yuan dynasty.

Baoshan Stone City is about 90 miles northeast of Lijiang in China's Yunnan province, near Tibet.
