Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India, Ananth Kumar will be will be inaugurating the CHEMTECH 2017 on February 14, 2017. ÃÂīStainless steel is an essential material for achieving sustainability in the critical key industries.
As a leading global stainless steel supplier, Outokumpu, the worldÃÂīs oldest and largest manufacturer, will present its products, services and capabilities at the event. The company will highlight how speciality stainless steels provide for sustainable solutions for safer and more reliable processes,ÃÂī said Yatinder Pal Singh Suri, Managing Director and Country Head, Outokumpu India.
ÃÂīThe main contributors to improved safety and reliability in any key process industry are corrosion-resistant materials which reduce downtime and maintenance needs. OutokumpuÃÂīs high strength duplex stainless steel grades offer new opportunities for the industry to attain these goals increasingly effectively and competitively. Duplex allows for considerable material savings due to higher strength in various applications and offers far superior corrosion resistance than the conventional material choices in stainless steel as well as coated carbon steel; the benefits include more flexibility in the types of stored liquids in storage tanks , minimised maintenance, and reduced corrosion hazards and lower cost,ÃÂī said Suri.
ÃÂīExhibiting and presenting at CHEMTECH 2017, Outokumpu will take the opportunity to propagate messages about sustainable solutions provided by the GroupÃÂīs speciality stainless steels. These stainless steels achieve the lowest life cycle cost, optimal productivity and higher profitability.

ÃÂīCurrently the overall demand level of stainless steel flat products for the industrial segment in India is more than 800,000 tonnes.
The demand for industrial grades is set to grow more than three times in the next 10 years. In the absence of domestic capability to manufacture high end reliable range of stainless steel for hostile industrial applications, Outokumpu has a major role to play in India,ÃÂī said Suri.
On OutokumpuÃÂīs successful completion of 10 years of operation in India, an Outokumpu customersÃÂī meet will be organised on February 16 to share knowledge and introduce the latest innovations in speciality stainless steels.
