Present your technology and know-how at METALLURGY UKRAINE 2011
The leading trade fair for one of Ukraine’s most important and dynamic industrial sectors.
Today, the metal industry is already one of the most important sectors of the Ukrainian economy and signs are pointing towards further growth and modernization. Foreign know-how and capital are now more welcome than ever before. 51% of the Ukrainian metallurgy production is located at the Donetsk region.
The greatest sales potential of the Ukrainian metal industry continues to lie in the production of commodities and semi-finished goods. Most of the plants currently being operated in the metal industry, however, are not yet technologically up-to-date. The government and companies are working together hand in hand to rebuild this economic sector.
Within this context, their greatest effort is a large-scale reorientation of production methods, know-how, and last, but not least, capital with great opportunities.
METALLURGY UKRAINE 2011 is the ideal podium for gaining promising contacts in an expanding market of the future.
