Metal-Expo’2024, the 30th International Industrial Exhibition

S.S. Sobyanin

Mayor of Moscow

Dear friends! I welcome you to Moscow at the International Industrial Metal-Expo’2023 exhibition.

This is a great event for metallurgical and related industries, which play a key role in the development of the domestic economy. Production of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy products, equipment and technologies, transport and logistics - these and other relevant topics are reflected at the exhibition and business programs of the largest specialized expoforum, which brings together representatives of business, authorities and the expert community.

In the current difficult period, the Russian metallurgical complex solves large-scale problems of re-equipment of production facilities, capacity building, development of new markets for products. In this situation, it is important to join forces and achieve goals together.

I am convinced that the International Industrial Exhibition Metal-Expo-2023 will contribute to the development of mutually beneficial cooperation between metal market participants; will serve the development and implementation of new joint projects. I wish you, dear friends, a successful forum, fruitful communication and new great achievements.

B.A. Sivak

President of METALLURGMASH Union

The great challenge that have fallen to the share of domestic industry and science is setting a wide range of urgent tasks for the participants of the upcoming exhibition that require active actions to overcome long-term dependence on the supply of high-tech products from abroad. It is time to make a targeted inventory of domestic science and industry, carefully identify, intensively develop and effectively use the existing achievements of domestic manufacturers, and renew the previously existing ties between science and industry at a new level. At the world-class industrial exhibition Metal-Expo that was held last year, the wide opportunities of traditional domestic firms representing all parts of the mining and metallurgical complex were shown.

Under modern conditions, the importance of this exhibition and its role in the struggle for effective import substitution of high-tech products are significantly increasing. A large number of new companies have appeared, producing a variety of science-intensive products for metallurgy. The role of the International Union of Metallurgical Equipment Manufacturers has significantly increased, which activities attract wide attention of consumers and enjoy great support from government structures and public organizations. There is no doubt about the successful continuation and development of these trends. Scientists and production workers pin great hopes on the announced return of higher education to traditional forms of training high-quality specialists, which have brilliantly proven themselves in the recent past and provided the indisputable authority of domestic science.

On behalf of the International Union of Metallurgical Equipment Manufacturers, I wish the organizers, participants and visitors of the exhibition a fruitful work, great creative success, interesting meetings and bright impressions.
