China is urging to increase exports to Europe.

2012 demand will follow the same pattern as in 2011

In general, expectations for our trade of stainless steel are positive.

Is it possible to feel passionate about something that is shiny, cold and hard? Something that refuses to age and can be reused in a virtually everlasting cycle? Something that is a global hit dauntlessly intending to stay on the top? Here at Damstahl the answer is clear – yes!

As per February 2nd Damstahl has acquired the German company Edelstahlservice in Frankfurt as well as a belonging production company in Magocs, Hungary. Edelstahlservice was founded in 1974 and was since 2007 part of the Klöckner group.

As of the beginning of 2012, a generally expected increase of the alloy surcharge has had a positive impact on the demand in almost entire Damstahl-land.

The entire European market has lost momentum.
