grown faster than those of zinc, aluminium, copper, lead and
carbon steel. A faster rate of growth is likely to be maintained
in the years ahead. But it may have resulted in global over-investment
in production capacity, jeopardising the industry's prospects.
The most prestigious industry event for the global stainless
steel community will cover all the latest key issues. Senior
executives from the most influential global and Chinese stainless
steel companies will be taking part and sharing their vision
for the industry in Taiyuan this year. For more information
