economic infrastructure. This trend has been a major factor for years. An increasing number of these emerging economies are equipped with state-of-the- art production plants. To stay internationally competitive, North American, Japanese and European steel producers must catch up. Therefore, the SMS Group expects increased demand for revamps and expansions in these regions. The company’s products and services are divided between the business areas of SMS Demag and SMS Meer. In 2007, SMS Demag increased order intake by some 90 per cent to €3,725 million (2006: €1,972 million), making it the leader in flat products. SMS Meer was able to raise its order intake by around 60 per cent to €1,353 million (2006: €857 million). SMS Meer is the leading supplier of tube rolling mills, long- product rolling mills, extrusion and forging presses as well as heating equipment for the steel and nonferrous metal industry.
