10.10.2020 Metal-Expo 2020

The Moscow Metal Week

It was impossible to say if the 26th annual forum of metallurgists would actually happen this year till the very last moment. The forum took place in the hard circumstances of a second pandemic wave: the exhibition place itself was an issue, because VDNH Pavilion No.75 had been reorganized as a stand-by hospital, and the exhibition had to take place somewhere else. Furthermore, lots of public health requirements had to be fulfilled.

Despite the tensions, the most important event for metallurgy was a success. About 300 companies from Russia participated in the forum, along with the other companies from more than 15 foreign countries. The business program included all the key sectors of metallurgy with 2,500 of specialists working on them.

As was noted on the opening ceremony, we were all in process of getting used to online mode. But nothing can substitute a real-life communication: meetings, discussions of the pressing issues. The participants made themselves busy with agreeing on the delivery conditions for the foreseeable future, debating on the long-term cooperation and discussing other issues concerning production, science and cooperation.

Among the other domestic enterprises, one could also see the products of Metallurgical Plant Electrostal.
