'Gulf Iron & Steel Conference' is being organized alongside the mega
exhibition 'SteelFab' and will attract the key executives in the region. The
conference will discuss the prime issues facing the iron & steel industry in
gulf region. It will also address itself to the technologies and practices
employed by downstream processes in general and 'Fabrication' in particular.
The technology providers, equipment manufacturers, raw material suppliers,
trading houses will also participate in this august gathering to make this
interaction more meaningful and complete.
Today, the steel demand of the gulf region is met partly by indigenous
supply and partly by imports. As the steel making capacity of a region
grows, the import component automatically comes down. Will there be extra
generation of demand to support imports ? What will be the demand supply
scenario of the gulf region by 2010 ?
The viability, longitivity and growth of any manufacturing based business
largely depends on technology. Technology can be the strongest driver of
cost competitiveness and can provide the required cutting edge to overcome
the competition. What is the right technology for a particular product ? How
local conditions affect the selection of technology ? How much should be the
'cost of technology'?
'Fabrication' has always been of prime importance to infrastructure
development. In recent years, this industry has undergone a lot of changes
in terms of technology and practices. A lot of automation and robotics is
being employed and their role in the future is sure to increase. What are
the expectations of the customer industry and how fabrication sector is
responding to this ? How and how much are the growth prospects of
'Fabrication' in the gulf region ?
These and many other prime issues, country profiles, success stories,
technology updates will make 'Gulf Iron & steel Conference' meaningful,
informative and thus IMPORTANT !!
