The chairman of the World Association of Manufacturers of Steel and Renaids elected Alexei Mordashov

At the World Association of Film, the WorldSteel rental of the World Association of Manufacturers, the general director of the Severstal group of companies Alexei Mordashov was elected its chairman.

The annual WorldSteel conference has traditionally gathered all the first persons of leading companies in the world - manufacturers of metal production.

The conference participants noted a significant slowdown in demand in Europe and a certain decline in consumption in China and India. The mood of the market participants began to be hard to call the raised today.

Reproduction of steel and metal distribution in Europe is unlikely to be compensated by the lethargic growth of the markets of the countries of the Brik - Brazil, Russia, India and China. 25 - 30% of the metallurgical industries of the European Union at this moment were not in demand by world markets. Prices for steel and metal products in Europe are in a state of permanent fall since the spring of this year and the prospects for their stabilization have not yet been observed, the conference participants noted.

The closure of "extra" industries, re -equipment and reconstruction of existing ones become relevant. Such processes are already going on, but in many ways very slowly and painfully, according to Andrei Laptev, head of the corporate strategy of OJSC Severstal. "Key success factors in such a situation are a strong structure of assets, world and regional leadership in costs, a premium product line and the ability to continuously increase efficiency, and do it faster than competitors. This is what we are betting in Severstal," he emphasized.
