FIW Steel Sdn Bhd (formerly known as Federal Iron Works Sdn. Bhd.) was incorporated on 11th July, 1960 as the first steel related manufacturer in Malaysia in the form of joint venture of the investment from Japan and Singapore.

Since incorporation, the company has been playing a role of the pioneer in every stage of technological development in steel sheet galvanizing and its related products. Thus, the history of the steel sheet galvanizing industry in Malaysia is the duplicate of the history of FIW Steel Sdn. Bhd.

In the year 2004, Sumitomo Corporation, a Japanese giant trading firm, took whole share of the original Japanese investment, and the company is currently one of the global members of Sumitomo Corporation’s group of companies.
