/B>‘Uprising’
\n\n
\n\nLatin America is one of the growth basins of the worl
d. The stainless steel consumption in the region grew by an average of 8.5
% per annum in the past 10 years\, consuming over 600\,000 t in 2012 of w
hich Brazil accounts for around 450\,000 t.
\n\n<
/SPAN>
\n\nBrazil has become a ‘micro-cosmo
s’ of stainless steel consuming industries. It has a diverse range of fa
bricators including automotive\, consumer durables\, chemical and petroche
mical\, energy and power generation and\, above all\, oil and gas producer
s who have a growing demand for stainless steel components.<
/P>\n\n
\n\nHowever\, also out
side Brazil\, there are various Latin American countries which put themsel
ves on the global radar. Argentina\, Columbia and Chile are all consuming
more than 30\,000 t per annum today.
\n\n
\n\nThus\, the growing demand is there\, but
what makes this region even more interesting is its raw material wealth i
ncluding ambitious nickel\, chrome\, niobium (columbium) and molybdenum pr
ojects that are critical for the stainless steel production.
\n\n
\n\nThe 1<
/SPAN>st Latin American Stain
less and its Alloys conference will introduce leading players from the ent
ire supply chain of this region\, from raw materials and stainless steel m
ills to stockists and fabricators.
\n\n
\n\nKey issues to be d
iscussed by top industry executives:<
/SPAN>
\n\n
\n\n- What impact will
the huge investment program of Petrobras have on the future stainless ste
el demand?
\n\n<
/P>\n\n
-
Wh
at are the prospects for the Brazilian automotive industry? Will recently
imposed high import duties for foreign cars provide a boost to the special
steel consumption?
\n\n
\n\n- High sugar production was recently causing a shortage of complement
ary ethanol. Will this lead to new investments to ensure a stable ethanol
production? Will the popularity of ethanol remain a
\n\n \; \; \; \; \; Brazilian <

end?
\n\n
\n\
n-
Will the
World Cup and Olympics stimulate the short term Brazilian demand in the c
onstruction and food processing (e.g. breweries) industries?
\n\n
\n\n- Will high import duties fo
r stainless steel products resulting in an extremely high price level for
consumers encourage imports of finished components?
\n\n<
P DIR=LTR>\n\n- Will Aperam and Villares continue t
o invest in Brazil?
\n\n
\n\n- Is the Brazilian distribution finally opening up to international c
ompanies?
\n\n\n\n
-
Wi
ll Uruguay be a new ‘mini-tiger’?
\n\n
\n\n- Forecast for Latin American stainless steel long
and flat products.
\n\n
\n\n- Substitution trends and outlook for Duplex stainless steels in Latin
America.
\n\n\n\n
-
Ou
tlook for seamless corrosion resistant tube and pipe in Brazil. Is there a
ny potential for setting up the first manufacturer of seamless stainless t
ubes in Brazil?
\n\n
\n\n
- Status quo and outlook for welded tubes. Will domestic producers like A
peram and Marcegaglia remain competitive with imports from China and Taiwa
n?
\n\n

Update on
Brazilian nickel projects.\n\n
\n\n- Update on Chilean and Peruvian molybdenum projects.
