Vardhman Special Steels has appointed Mr. Koichiro Hayashida as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director on its board, effective July 4, 2025. The appointment follows the Share Subscription and Investment Agreement signed with Japan's Aichi Steel Corporation (ASC) on May 29, 2025, under which ASC had the right to nominate a director to the board. Mr. Hayashida currently serves as Executive Officer of Aichi Steel's Hagane Company (Specialty Steel division) and previously was President of Aichi Forge, Thailand from 2021 to 2024. His tenure runs until the next annual general meeting and is subject to shareholder approval.
This appointment strengthens the strategic partnership with Aichi Steel Corporation and is likely to bring technical expertise in specialty steelmaking to the board. Investors may view this as a positive signal of deeper collaboration with a global steel major, potentially supporting future technology transfer and business growth.
