The organizer of the 3rd Steel, Scrap & Raw Material Conference, to be held in Bangkok Sept. 11-12, 2017, says the event will be an international gathering that should be of interest to ferrous scrap traders and equipment makers from around the world.
Amit Hablani, the manager of business development for Raipur, India-based SteelMint, says some 300 delegates are expected at the event, which is being billed as one that will examine the global steel trade at a time when it “is staring at transformation.” Hablani says, “On one hand Chinese scrap is threatening to alter global scrap trade dynamics; on the other hand, we have countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Indonesia [that] are riding the consumption wave.”
He says the gathering of steelmakers from throughout Asia will make the September Bangkok event one with great opportunities for international ferrous scrap traders and equipment makers who supply machinery around the world.
“Global suppliers of both brokered scrap and processing machinery will have the chance to make new contacts from China, from the Indian Subcontinent and from the emerging steel powerhouse nations of Southeast Asia,” states Hablani.
Equipment makers and distributors, as well as traders who would benefit from exhibiting at the event, can find out more on this Web page.
On the programming side of the event, Brian Taylor of the Recycling Today Media Group will moderate a session designed to answer the question, “How will scrap supply dynamics shape up in 2017-2018?”
Other topics addressed on the 3rd Steel, Scrap & Raw Material Conference schedule include:
- How will China impact the dynamics of the global scrap and steel market?
- Will Pakistan become the second largest scrap importer in Asia?
- Will Bangladesh double its steel consumption by 2022?
- Will Southeast Asia remain import-dependent for finished steel, or increase its steel production?
- What will be the impact of the new Indian metal recycling policy?
- Can the scrap charge rate be increased in basic oxygen furnaces from the existing 18-to-20 percent to 50 percent?
