Steel Guru as media partner is proud to present Steel Mill Optimisation & Maintenance Asia 2007 which is organized by terrapinn at Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok, Thailand.
Off late Asia has become the leader in world steel consumption with around half of the world steel demand generated in Asian markets as it comprises of developing countries where infrastructural development is on the forefront of the agenda. Now even the higher end steel consuming sectors like auto, white goods etc are also viewing Asia as the fastest growing market, thus further strengthening steel demand.
Though the region witness a setback when economist of some of the South East Asian countries faced currency crises, most of the lost ground is made up and these countries are again on fast recovery track. All this make Asia the most favored destination for not only to steelmakers but to all the allied businesses too.
This conference is the annual forum bringing together technology and solutions providers, industry experts, strategic decision makers and hands on managers from steelmaking facilities all across Asia to meet discuss and explore ways to push the boundaries of steel making that supports the industry's continuous search for best practices and innovations in production optimisation in the race to maximize output.
The conference is an unrivalled and cost effective sales and marketing solution that works throughout the year and then brings you face to face with your customers and prospects and it is also a unique business event that offers many benefits and is extremely cost effective.
Why Steel Mill Optimisation and Maintenance Asia 2007
Because iron and steel producers are to satisfy and take advantage of the current high demands of steel
Because optimum productivity and efficiencies to produce and deliver at full capacity with no delay, no sub-standard products are a MUST
Because 100 steelmakers from all over Asia came to share and learn. Expect 150 steelmakers participating in Steel Mill Optimisation and Maintenance Asia 2007
Because peer sharing, knowledge and solutions will be abundance in Steel Mill Optimisation and Maintenance Asia 2007
