MetalTransLogistics to be held during Metal-Expo’2012

On December 23 Russian Steel’s Committee for Transportation supported the idea of holding MetalTransLogistics, an exhibition for transportation and logistics for mining and metallurgical complex within Metal-Expo’2012. The idea had been previously discussed at the meeting of Metal-Expo Organizing Committee on December 7 in Moscow.

For a number of years conferences on development of cooperation between steel producers and railway transportation companies have been held during Metal-Expo. However, mining and metallurgical companies notice the deterioration of cooperation in the recent years: prices are raised, terms of delivery increase etc.

Metal-Expo has become the key business platform where steel producers and suppliers from all over the world meet. 650 companies from 35 world countries participated in Metal-Expo’2011 while 30 thousand professionals and company leaders from various industries visited the event.

For this reason Russian Steel’s Committee for Transportation strongly believes that Metal-Expo may become the platform for development of business and technical cooperation between transportation companies and mining and metallurgical complex whose products including coal account for around 2/3 of all the cargo transportations including railway, sea and river transportations. In the recent years the share of vehicle transportations increases.

MetalTransLogistics along with MetallStroyForum and MetallurgMash will be held during Metal-Expo’2012, 18th International Industrial Exhibition at the All-russia Exhibition Cneter in November.
Another meeting of Metal-Expo Organizing Committee in February 2012 will be focused on arranging of MetalTransLogistics exposition and its program of events.
