March 5, 2010 - NYK Holding (Europe) B.V., a wholly owed subsidiary of NYK, has acquired a 26 percent stake in TM International Logistics Limited (TMILL; head office: Kolkata, India; president: Dibyendu Bose), which offers steel-related logistics and harbor operation services and is a subsidiary of the largest steelmaker in India, Tata Steel Limited.*
TMILL was founded in 2002 as a joint venture between Tata Steel Limited (51 percent of shares) and IQ Martrade Holding and Management GmbH (49% of shares), a German company that offers integrated logistics services to steel and related industries.

Ltd. with Tata Steel in 2007 in response to the growing transport of raw materials in India. This stock acquisition will allow the NYK Group to use its extensive know-how to contribute more to the supply chain of Tata Steel.
