This conference is the biggest international eventfocussing on galvanized and coated steel andcontinues to provide an important opportunity todiscuss the vital issues facing the industry. Weakdemand in Europe remains a huge concern for flatproduct producers – when will the market recover?Find out how to deal with challenges of overcapacityand the opportunities that exist to remaincompetitive in difficult economic times. Globally thepicture is different – Asian production of coatedproducts is high, however, signs of slowing growthraise concerns about a hard landing for the Chineseeconomy. Are these concerns warranted and whatwill be the impact on the global market if they cometo realisation? In addition the conference will focusupon the demand scenario for main end uses –automotive, construction and white goods and thedrivers for price.

With a host of crucial industry topics and an expertspeaker panel you cannot afford to miss thelargest European gathering of galvanizing and coilcoating professionals.
