MMMM 2008, the 7th international
exhibition for minerals, metals, metallurgy
and materials, will take place from 13-16
November 2008 at the India Expo Centre in
New Delhi, India.
The show is India’s premier trade exhibition
for the metallurgy industry. This year’s show
will centre on the theme of ‘Global and
domestic opportunities and challenges in
minerals and metals industries’.
Now in its 14th year, MMMM 2008 will also
run alongside the India Institute of Metal’s
(IIM) 2008 international metallurgical
conference, together with the 46th National
Metallurgist Day and 62nd annual technical
meeting with national awards. The Tube
and Pipe Expo (ITPE) will
also be held concurrently
with MMMM 2008, a new
addition to an already
successful show.
MMMM 2008 is the largest
industry trade show with
exclusive attendance
including the metallurgy
key players and buyers
based in India. Due to a
growing economy, these
industry specialists now
have the purchasing power
to buy more expensive
overseas technology,
equipment and services.
India’s steel and metals production is
expected to grow from the current level of
38 million tonnes to 50 million tonnes by
2012 and 100 million tonnes by 2020. The
huge capacity addition in the steel sector
will require an estimated investment of
US$16.5bn in the next 7-8 years.
Event director, Mr Oleg Netchaev,
comments, “India has one of the fastest
growing metals, metallurgy and minerals
sectors in the world.”
The event has increased at least twice
in size since the inaugural event, with the
2008 show set to include an expanded
range of sectors. The last exhibition in 2006
attracted over 15,000 professional visitors.
The technology on offer at MMMM 2008
will include tube and pipe, wire and cable,
casting machinery, foundry machinery,
and furnaces/heat treatment. Visitors will
include senior executives from integrated
steel works, cold rolling mills, tube mills,
and wire/cable manufacturing.
