Dear Readers,
|
It is our great pleasure to submit to you this year’s edition of Polski Przemysł Stalowy ‘2008 (Polish Steel Industry ‘2008). The publication documents Poland’s iron and steel and related industries’ performances in 2007.
It was a good year for steel industry and quite successful for steel-related branches as well as sectors consuming steel products.
Polish economy consumes increasingly more steel, due to high GDP growth (6.5%), efficient absorption of EU funds by infrastructural projects as well as direct foreign and domestic inward investments.
Specifically, infrastructural, construction and steel consuming sectoral projects (automotive, plant & machinery, white goods, steel structure) have significantly raised steel demand.
In order to successfully meet market requirements, domestic mills have completed numerous important investment projects. As a result, advanced market orientated finished products are manufactured and adverse impact on environment is minimized. Steel is an industry with sustainable development for years to come, a sought-after partner for cooperating industries.
Polish steel industry is a permanent link of the European and international steel community.
I am hopeful that this edition of the Polish Steel Industry ‘2008 will be an interesting and useful reading for you. |
