“We’re constantly striving to offer the best solutions for our customers. Customer feedback inspired us to rearrange our products according to performance characteristics rather than their chemical composition and so create an easier way for customers to explore our comprehensive portfolio. Our new categorization will make it easier for the customer to assess and select the optimum product,” said Mr Suri.
“Outokumpu’s new portfolio structure features nine product ranges, which highlight the key properties of their respective products such as corrosion-resistance, heat-resistance, strength, hardness and machinability. Exhibiting and presenting at Chemtech Gujarat 2016 Outokumpu will take the opportunity to propagate messages about sustainable solutions provided by the Group’s specialty stainless steels. These stainless steels achieve the lowest life cycle cost, optimal productivity and higher profitability. The world-leading stainless steel producer with the broadest product portfolio, Outokumpu supplies materials for sub-sea facilities, oil refining, chemical tankers, energy producers and ports, enhancing profits and productivity with competitive cost advantage.” Said Mr Suri.
“Currently the overall demand level of stainless steel flat products for industrial segment in India is around 800,000 tonnes. The demand for Industrial grades is set to grow more than 3 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.” Said Mr Suri .
“Stainless steel as material is 100% recyclable, corrosion-resistant, maintenance-free, durable and hygienic. Unlike our competitors Outokumpu is mostly into marketing High end grades of Stainless steel in India mostly used for manufacturing of process equipment plants in Oil & Gas, chemical and refineries. Outokumpu’s presence in India is primarily relevant for high end grades and higher dimensions which are not manufactured in India. Being the oldest and largest stainless steel player in the world, India definitely needs Outokumpu innovations”he added.
