How will your company respond to the new challenges and opportunities in the galvanizing and coil coating industry? Prices of finished products are rocketing but this is not mirrored by the demand. It brings uncertainty to the market and raises questions about where demand is heading. This year we will be providing answers to these questions; breaking down issues of demand and pricing both geographically and by sector.
We will also provide producers of galvanized and coated steels with the end users’ perspectives, giving them an overview of the most desired products and new requirements from the customers.
The summit will offer you a superb networking experience and will help you to make informed decisions taking your business safely into the future.
