After the protest of Qing Government, it became a Sino-Japanese joint venture in 1910 (as Chinese: 本溪湖商辦煤礦業有限公司; lit. 'Benxi Lake Commercial Coal Mining Company Limited'). In the next year the company added "Iron" in the denomination (as Chinese: 本溪湖煤鐵有限公司; lit. 'Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company Limited'). After the Mukden Incident, the company was under sole Japanese control until the end of World War II. During Chinese Civil War, in 1948 the company and Liaoning fall under Chinese Communist Party controls.[3] In 1953, the coal mine was separated from the company as Benxi Mining Bureau.[4] (now part of Shenyang Coal Industry) The steel refinery was also modified under the aid of Soviet Union as 1 of 156 important construction projects [zh] of the First Five-year plan of China. It was one of the 512 important state-owned enterprises in 1997. (1 of 47 iron and steel industry).[5]

In 2010 a new holding company was formed to takeover "Benxi Iron and Steel" and "Beitai Iron and Steel", located in Beitai, a town in Pingshan District, Benxi. The latter was owned by SASAC of Benxi City, but was transferred to Liaoning SASAC in order to finalize the merger.[6] In August 2021, Bengang began a merger with Ansteel Group which, once completed, will create the third largest metal producer in the world.[7]
