UAE(SCRAPMONSTER)Metal Bulletin is bringing the 19th Galvanizing & Coil Coating Conference to the Middle

East for the first time asthe region gains influence in the galvanized and coated steel market.  The city of Abu

Dhabi is an excellentlocation for the two-day event, which provides a forum for industry leaders from throughout

the supply chain todiscuss important challenges and opportunities which the market is facing. 

Overcapacity continues to pose problems for steel mills and service centres around the world.  While the

construction industries in the Middle East and Asia are picking up pace, end-use industries in Europe and

developed nations are still largely stationary and raw material costs may increase to unacceptable levels.  There

are encouraging signs for steel producers in the battle to be the material of choice in the automotive industry,
