Ferro-alloys markets are more dynamic thanever. The industry is being exposed to majorchallenges not only from the steel sector butalso problems in its own back yard such asproduction curtailments and plant closures.

Nickel demand remains strong in Asia but willproducers be able to deliver promised capacities?Will the South African chrome industry reach acompromise over the chrome ore export tax?What impact will stainless steel industryconsolidation have on the market and what willthe future hold after an alloy surcharge? To

answer these and other pressing questions for theindustry in 2014 the conference will providededicated sessions for each ferro-alloy from theperspective of the industry’s heavyweights.

We are pleased to announce that the 29thInternational Ferro-alloys Conferencewill be inBarcelona, at the express wishes of our delegates.Again 1,000 plus delegates will assemble at thismost important industry gathering to do a year’sworth of business in three days with the world’scustomers and suppliers. This time in the warmthof the Mediterranean.
