TOKYO, Japan - September 20, 2018 - ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) announced today to sign a strategic alliance agreement with Shougang Group. ORIX will collaborate with Shougang Group in diversified business fields including infrastructure management in China.

Established in 1919 and headquartered in Beijing, Shougang Group has experienced a history of nearly 100 years. At present, the Group has developed into a large-sized enterprise group centering on iron and steel and concurrently running businesses in financial sector such as commercial bank, lease, investment fund operation, public infrastructure sector such as car parking operation, hospital operation, and environment sector.

The number of retained Chinese automobile was growing over 10% annually last 10 years and had reached 217 million by the end of 2017* and the number is estimated to be increased in the future.
