The fact that there was only one major competitor helped XYZ grow very fast. Between 1947 and 1957, they grew by about ten times. During these years, the company made only raw carbon steel due to a lack of technological know-how to make value-added products. In 1957 they tied up with a German firm, Gunther steel, to make stainless steel, vastly increasing their market scope. In 1960 XYZ created a new entity by the name of 'Rashi' ores.
