Made in Steel 2015 MADE in Steel takes place from 20 to 22 May at Fieramilano, Milan, Italy. It will be the 6 th edition of the conference and exhibition dedicated to the international steel supply chain.

On 20 May the results of research that began in June 2014 will be announced. Its title is ‘Industria & Acciaio 2030’. It focuses on innovation and process of steel production, distribution and delivery in the future as well as the environmental impact of the European and Italian steel industry. In addition to this, the 2015 edition will involve an agreement between Made in Steel and Eurometal. This sponsorship has also been agreed upon by the four branches that make up the European continental unit: Dismet – the association of European steel distributors, tubes and metal; Eassc – coordinator of the European service centres; Nat Fed – which brings all the national iron and steel distributors together; and STSG – which represents the European traders. It is an agreement that has arisen out of the strong amount of steel trade among Italian and European countries. It is hoped that this strong bond will have a positive outcome in the near future. On the second day of the event, Made in Steel will host “International Steel Trade Day” which will be organised by STSG. A conference will be held inside the three-day event. The goal is to give visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to meet operators/suppliers in the iron and steel trading/selling sectors, within the European framework.

by a specially made walkway/gallery called “Passerella Expo – Fiera”. This will allow the visitors of Made in Steel to have the best of both worlds. The sixth edition of this event will be organised by Siderweb – the main online Italian news source for information, training and consulting for the steel market. Made in Steel will feature numerous Italian and international steel leaders who have already booked their stands, and will offer a broad programme of conferences.
