15th Galvanizing & Coil Coating Conference 2010

Galvanized and Coated steel is one of the key products in the metal industry nowadays. Prices of the 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 geographically and by sector.

We will also provide producers of galvanized and coated steel with the end users perspective, giving them an overview of the most desired products and new requirements from the customers. Plus a discussion on the consolidation trend in the industry and how will it affect both big and small players in the near future.

Key issues that will be discussed this year include:

• How the financial crisis influenced the market and where are we on the road to recovery
• What affect will rising prices of galvanized and coated steel in Asia and America have on Europe
• What are the new products and applications desired by the construction, white-goods and automotive sectors?
• Entering niche markets for organic coated steel- growing potential in the brown-goods sector
• How the service centers are responding to the rising prices of cold and hot rolled coil.
• The Turkish market- how is it changing and what potential does it hold?
• What impact on the market do current raw material prices have, especially zinc, and how are they likely to change in the future
• Will consolidation remain a trend and what will be the market response?
• What are the cost-control opportunities for the production of the galvanized and coated steel desired by the consumers
  

This year the event will be held in Istanbul. This is the perfect hub of the galvanized and coated steel producers as well as end-users, especially from the white-goods and automotive sectors. The Turkish steel market is growing, producing still less than it consumes. Big steel producers see it as a good base of production for the growing demand from the Black Sea and Middle Eastern markets. Although the conference will be held in Europe it will also focus on the key regions of India and China.

Key reasons to attend:

• Don't miss this opportunity to network with the key players in the global galvanizing and coated coil industry
• Find out what products are desired by the end users
• Hear about new and upcoming markets for galvanized and coated steel
• Learn how Integrated Mills and Steel Service Center companies are adjusting their production and business strategies to the current economic climate
