Our Metals invites you and your colleagues to attend an important international "Rostov Cement - South Gate of Russia" conference,
The state of affairs in the cement market is still tense, and Moscow Cement conference that took place on 17 July and gathered around 300 delegates, is a good example of it.
Another price fall by 12 USD a week later (July, 25) has tightened the situation even more.
The primary concern today is not just how to make a profit or survive, but how to withdraw from the market and freeze one’s activity with minimal losses.
The recent drop by 12 USD throws out almost all importers – no more than 5-6 large companies can stay in the market.
At such a hard time the organizers decide to hold this conference. Why?
The main reason for today’s problem facing manufacturers and importers is not the price war of import, but the weaker demand, caused by the lack of money in the construction sector comparing to 2007.
The situation can change anytime – the demand by the results of 2008 will be higher than that of 2007.
Considering that August is a vacation season, key financial solutions will be made either closer to the end of August or in September.
We will thus get a long-drawn season.
Those companies that will manage to withstand in the market and survive without losing faith will obtain unprecedented opportunities.
The event will provide a great networking opportunity for importers to meet logistic companies and consumers.
For consumers – this is chance to meet reliable cement suppliers.
For producers – this is an opportunity to acquire new information on the market, outlook of the market and prospects of its development after vast and hard price battles of the summer 2008.
At present time, a special place in the Russian cement market is taken by the Southern region.
According to the data of southern seaports and North Caucasus Railway, the level of cement shipment and transportation had increased dramatically in the last six months of 2008 when compared to last year.
Novorossiysk Trading Seaport for the six months of the current year transported about 737.8 thousand tonnes of cement (an increase by 500 thosand tonnes).
The cement transportation volumes in Taganrog Trading Seaport increased from 2.3 ths t to 112.7 ths t.
The cement shipment volumes in the ports of Azov and Rostov exceed 400 thousand tonnes.
Port terminal of "Promexpedition" in Azov in 2008 transhipped over 300 thousand tonnes.
