Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel Hong Kong 6-8 June, 2007 Metal Bulletin and SMR are pleased to announce details of the 3rd Asian Stainless Steel Conference. This leading conference offers a unique opportunity to network and do business with the main players in the Asian and international stainless steel industry. With year on year production capacity increases of over 50% in the first 9 months of 2006*, China is now the largest stainless steel producing country in the world by a considerable margin and the main catalyst behind Asia’s 14.7% growth in the same period*. India’s production increases have also added significantly to regional growth. Globally, stainless steel production in 2006 increased dramatically compared with 2005. The first 9 months of 2006 witnessed a year on year increase of 13% with global production levels rising to 20,851,000 metric tonnes*. Current high raw material prices and price volatility has not restrained demand. However, the fastest growing types of stainless steel grades are now those which do not contain nickel. Many hold that sustainable future growth is dependent on raw material prices returning to historic levels. Periods of stellar growth inevitably pose many questions for industry participants. This conference provides the opportunity to plan for the future with insightful and topical presentations from many of the industry’s leading companies and executives. Metal Bulletin and SMR’s 3rd Asian Stainless Steel Conference will provide you with a panoramic view of the stainless steel industry in Asia and will address the main issues from raw material through to finished product.
