Steel Master

The Steelmaster - Background

The Steelmaster is an yearly course aimed at managers, technical staff, white collar workers, trade union officials, consultant and experts, connected with the steel industry. It has now reached its eighteen edition.

Since 1997 the Steelmaster is organised with the support of Federacciai (Italian Steel Producers Association)
