Foulath Holding’s subsidiary, SULB, the first fully integrated light, medium, and heavy beams and structural steel sections producer in the Middle East region, recently took part in the Middle East Iron & Steel Conference 2022 as a Gold sponsor.

Hosted by Fastmarkets on 12-14 December 2022, at Atlantis the Palm, Dubai, the Conference was the largest annual meeting of global experts in the iron and steel industry in the MENA region.

The 3-day event delivered a suite of key industry content from senior regional experts including Ravi Singh, Chief Executive Officer of SULB, who participated in a Keynote executive panel alongside Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, Group CEO of Arkan and CEO of Emirates Steel Arkan, and Raju Daswani, CEO of Fastmarkets.

The panel addressed the shift from net importer to net exporter, the changing landscape of steel production in the GCC, and the effects of higher oil prices on the region.

As the ideal platform gathering leading professionals in the sector, this year’s Middle East Iron & Steel Conference covered topics such as raw material dynamics, iron and steel production fundamentals and consumption drivers in Middle Eastern and North African countries.

With attendees from across the region, the event served to dissect emerging market trends, create new business ties and strengthen existing ones.
