CIS Metal Summit is held annually for 12 years, the Summit has become the key event, gathering professionals and top executives from the CIS Metals sector and their international colleagues, each year attracting 300+ biggest names in the industry.

Being one of the basic industries, the metallurgical complex makes a massive contribution to economic development of the CIS. In the last few years, compound annual growth rates have been steadily rising, driven by the increased demand for metal by manufacturing industries, the oil and gas complex, the building industry, as well as a favorable market environment. However the following factors a significant aging of facilities, uncompetitive quality levels of value added products, a decline in profits caused by rising fuel, energy and transport prices and tariffs, development problems in the raw materials base, and the establishment of export tariffs and quotas – have created significant obstacles for the development of the metals industry. The overcoming of these obstacles has become the basis of the strategic growth program which is being undertaken by the leading companies in the industry.
