The good news is that the company board, January 1st 2011, 100% of current capacities of the production line, happy situation for the year mark in June, the 100 years of plant Beautor in its successive names.

Mr Fendt added that "It is even possible that we go beyond this result, because we have new automotive customers, a sector that represents 96% of our production in cold rolling and over 50% in electro. These changes concern mainly the German market. All this will of course be understood that by raising further the quality of steel products. No accidents were deplored what it will renew in 2011 to face competition more and more pressing, Yes, of course, the Chinese, but also of our competitors in Europe. It should be borne in mind that countries that have the most growth are in Asia, India, and that Western Europe will find its level of steel consumption in 2013, perhaps."
