Lohr and Vice-president Sales and Marketing John B. Peters.
On Thursday they enjoyed a guided tour of selected Company operations, and completed their visit with their official Supervisory Board meeting at the Economic Development Center in Kosice. According to USSK Executive Vice-president Strategic Implementation and HZ, a.s. Supervisory Board member Anton Jura, who was also the host of this meeting, cooperation is of pragmatic significance. There is similar cooperation among steel producers elsewhere in the world as well. In practically all countries with developed steel industries, multinational steel-making associations are active. These are not-for-profit organizations, but provide steel-makers with the vital information they need for their business. Hutnictvo zeleza, as a member of IISI, Eurofer and the pipe manufacturers' association ESTA, provides its members primarily with statistical information about their competitors on the steel market.
