Our customer - key to our success - this is a motto of the first
presentation of U.S. Steel Kosice at the 43rd International Machinery Fair in
Brno. The MSV is eventuating since 24th of September till 28th of September.
,This fair is one of the most notables marketing venues in Europe,
showcasing the products and services of many of the world's elite suppliers
of industrial products and services. It is with great pleasure and pride that
U.S. Steel Kosice is participating in this prestigious event," said John
H.Goodish, president of U.S. Steel Kosice.
U.S. Steel Kosice is the largest integrated flat rolled producer in
Central Europe. Nearly 40 percent of annual finished production of 3.5
million tons of raw steel is shipped to the Central European market. The
International Machinery Fair in Brno gives U.S. Steel Kosice the opportunity
to publicize its pant, its people and its high -quality steel products to
existing and potential customers in this strategic market.
The exhibition is situated at the separate pavilion, at the 250-m2 area.
The exhibition is including ,three-dimensional" insight in ironmaking
history in Slovakia through historical exhibits and presentation of all
products offered by U.S. Steel Kosice.
Representatives of U.S. Steel Kosice will meet their customers at the
,goblet of wine" event on Wednesday, September 26. It will be very good
opportunity to tell them that U.S. Steel Kosice has embarked on an ambitious
capital spending plan to expand and upgrade our ability to produce value-
added products such as tinplate and automotive steels. U.S. Steel will soon
complete an expansion of tinning facilities, increasing tinplate production
by 220 000 tons per year and they will commission a new vacuum degasser to
produce ultra-low carbon steel.
It will be good opportunity to talk about changes realised in business
strategy of U.S. Steel Kosice, too.
"U.S. Steel Kosice goal is to improve customer service through open
communication. The sales organization has been restructured so that there are
dedicated teams of inside, outside, and technical sales personnel people who
are in constant contact with our customers. Over the past six months, we have
increased the volume of deliveries to our customers by direct line, that is
without middlemen, up to 80 % of the total. Just for comparison, at the end
of 2000 this share was 62 % and in 1999 it was only 52 %. This means that we
are selling our material directly to end-users and service-centres," said
James P. Bouchard, vice-president for marketing and sales and he added:
"Customers reaction has been extremely positive."
U.S. Steel Kosice is introducing all kinds of products - hot and cold
rolled sheets, pipes and radiators at the 43rd International Machinery Fair
in Brno.
