Infrastructure and supply: Understand these vital market factors at the industry forum for the South African Ferro-alloys industry

Supply of ferro-alloys in the world’s largest producer of chrome ore continues to be constrained. Logistical power and the looming threat of new government policies continue to cause concern to buyers, sellers and traders.  New manganese projects are also close to completion and will be hard hit by the same problems with infrastructure.

Understand how to overcome these issues and meet international and local executives at the forum for the key supplier to the ferro-alloys market.

Join leading industry executives at Metal Bulletin’s South African Ferro-alloys Conference. Meet with local and international delegates at this important industry forum for a country which is vital to the ferro-alloys market. Understand how your demand can be met and build lasting relationships with these key suppliers.  

Major topics to be discussed:

- Rising costs and process optimization: Discover how costs can be managed and lowered across the supply chain
- The integrated resource plan of South Africa: What does this mean to the future of the ferro-alloys industry in this region?
- Co-generation: Can market participants easily implement this form of power supply?
- The impact of a strong rand to ferrochrome prices
- Where are the costs heading for particular reductants used by ferro-alloy smelters?
