Introduction

+44 208 5187575

In 2007 the trend for stainless steel production volumes increase remained although production growth speed significantly slowed comparing with 2006. The demand for stainless steels continues to be on high level. The flat rolled steel production growth was mainly due to ChMK and Severstal. New tax introduced in spring just strengthened the success. Along with the decrease of the flat products and wire import in the current year there was significant growth of tubes import. That was caused by multiply increased demand. At that the production of stainless tubes in Russia somewhat decreased!

The conference “Stainless Tubes and Pipes 2007” will discuss the current situation on the market and forecasts for 2008. The meeting will take place in The Ritz Carlton Hotel, Moscow. The aim of the event is to analyze the state-of-the-art and perspectives for Russian market and to give practical recommendations for customers.
