Shanghai to host stainless steel expo

Shanghai will host the 9th International Stainless Steel Exposition between Aug 31 and Sept 2.

China is the largest and most important stainless steel producer in the world. The country is also the biggest stainless steel consumer with the largest volume.

The industry is likely to expand further with increased demand from the transportation, construction, energy and environment protection sectors. Demand is also rising in nuclear power plant construction, and the petroleum and chemical industries.

Since 1999, STEXPO has been held every two years, and is the largest stainless steel exhibition in Asia.
