With the extremely challenging conditions the global steel industry is facing, due to the quicker than anticipated contraction in Chinese demand and severe oversupply, the US industry has performed relatively well and has unsurprisingly become the target of exports from a range of countries seeking to mitigate losses and take advantage of favorable exchange rates. The 9th CRU North American Steel Conference will address the key issues central to your success. You'll hear experienced and noteworthy speakers discuss demand, materials technology, raw materials, cost competitiveness, trade barriers and global threats to the US steel markets.
