economic infrastructure. This trend has
been a major factor for years.
An increasing number of these emerging
economies are equipped with state-of-the-
art production plants. To stay internationally
competitive, North American, Japanese
and European steel producers must catch
up. Therefore, the SMS Group expects
increased demand for revamps and
expansions in these regions.
The company’s products and services are
divided between the business areas of
SMS Demag and SMS Meer. In 2007, SMS
Demag increased order intake by some 90
per cent to €3,725 million (2006: €1,972
million), making it the leader in flat products.
SMS Meer was able to raise its order intake
by around 60 per cent to €1,353 million
(2006: €857 million). SMS Meer is the
leading supplier of tube rolling mills, long-
product rolling mills, extrusion and forging
presses as well as heating equipment for
the steel and nonferrous metal industry.
