The Adam Smith Institute would like to thank all speakers,
sponsors and delegates for their input into the 13th annual
CIS Metals Summit, which took place 18th
- 20th February 2008 in Moscow.
Held annually for 13 years, the Summit has become the key
event in the industry, gathering
top executives from the CIS Metals sector as well as their
international counterparts, each year attracting 300+
of the biggest names in the metals industry.
Once again this year speakers’ panel included many of the
leading figures from the largest CIS metal companies, such
as Evraz Group, RUSAL, Metalloinvest, Chelyabinsk Zinc
Plant, OMK-Steel, SMR (Basic Element Group of Companies),
Siberian-Amur Steel LLC, Inprom, Comtech, Steel Industrial
Company, and many more.
The participants of the Summit had the opportunity
to find out how metal companies are dealing with current
challenges, to hear an evaluation and development forecast
for the CIS Metals market and its main export directions,
as well as to meet many potential partners, build business
alliances and exchange experiences.
Key discussion topics at the 2008 Summit included:
- An overview of the current CIS Metals sector and an analysis
of future prospects

company
- Mergers and acquisitions as a means of solving the problems
of globalisation, capitalisation and company stability
