Dear colleagues!
I am pleased to welcome the participants and organizers of the 30th anniversary International Industrial Exhibition “Metal-Expo”.
Over three decades, it has become an important platform for exchanging experience and holding negotiations between leading steel companies and consumers of their products, equipment manufacturers and technological innovators. This year, about a thousand enterprises from the CIS and far abroad countries, including China, India, Iran, Turkey and the European Union, are represented here.
Today, the domestic metallurgical industry, having successfully adapted to the sanctions pressure, is implementing large-scale plans and is actively developing. According to the results of last year, its growth exceeded 3 percent. High demand for products is largely due to housing and road construction, modernization of public infrastructure and utility networks. This year, the Moscow-St. Petersburg high-speed railway project was launched, the expansion of the BAM and the Trans-Siberian Railway, the federal highway M-12 “East” continues, dozens of river and sea vessels for various purposes are being built at shipyards across the country. The restoration of automobile production is gaining momentum – from January to June, the output of trucks increased by 21 percent, cars – three times more. And this is an additional hundreds of thousands of tons of various types of rolled and cast products.
In many ways, these results were facilitated by the implementation of the Strategy for the Development of the Metallurgical Industry until 2030, prepared on the instructions of the head of state. Work is being carried out in three main areas – deepening processing and mastering high value added processes, providing critical raw materials and stimulating domestic demand, as well as reorienting exports to the markets of friendly countries.
The President emphasized that the industry is becoming more and more high-tech year after year. Advanced engineering and production solutions are being actively implemented, and unique alloys are being developed that allow for the creation of materials with special properties. All this opens up new and broad opportunities in various fields – from aviation and cosmonautics to electronics and medicine.
I am confident that the exhibition and the professional competitions, conferences and seminars planned within its framework will allow us to find answers to the most difficult questions, discuss new challenges and opening prospects.
I wish all participants and organizers constructive discussions and success.
M. Mishustin
