I. Lysenko, Deputy Chairman of Committee for Metallurgy, Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry pointed out that the program of events had been very tense: “The main task of the exhibition which is ensuring a dialogue between producers and consumers has been fulfilled”.

A. Dorofeev, Head of Department, Association of Russian Metal Builders said: “Metal-Expo`2009 no doubt has become the key event for the steel industry. However, we still have to develop a stronger cooperation between steel makers and builders. As part of the program MetallStroyForum’2010, an exhibition for steel structures manufactures and users will be held together with Metal-Expo’2010 on the same fairground”.

”The exhibition has turned out to be extremely interesting, efficient, and spectacular. The majority of its exhibitors and visitors are professionals, noted S.

I have had a good opportunity to meet with a big number of heads of special steels enterprises. We have to continue discussing the ways of improving supplies to defense and machine-building enterprises with special steels at Metal-Expo”.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation plans on holding another workshop of the Coordination Council with participation of heads and CEOs of steel mills.

The Organizing Committee admitted a positive experience of participation of scientific and research institutions and engineering companies on a joint exposition. Next year this positive experience will be developed by an extended participation of other scientific and research institutions, engineering companies, high schools, state corporations, and different associations for support of small and medium businesses.

The estimated budget of the foundation exceeds 2 bln rubles.
A. Brodov, Director of TSNIICHermet asked his colleagues to pay more attention to requirements of various industries when planning program of events. Since the domestic market today becomes a top priority if users announce their requirements clearly and early steel makers will have time to prepare.

All types of equipment for metal and steel industry, ferrous and non-ferrous products, metalworking technologies etc. will be presented in Moscow in November 2010. Besides, an exposition of steel structures manufactures will be arranged on the same fairground next to the expositions of metal and steel, as well as machine-building companies which will jumpstart the development of this sector of economy.
