The final edition of the NOWA STAL magazine for this year has just been published, featuring a summary of a key industry event – the STAINLESS STEEL DAY conference, held in November 2024. During a panel discussion on market conditions, Tadeusz Pająk, President of Nova Trading – a leading distributor of stainless steel in Poland – shared his expertise and insights.

This article is a great opportunity to reflect on the event. The words spoken during the conference inspire us to delve deeper into the perspectives of various market participants and to draw meaningful conclusions.

We operate in challenging times – chaos caused by the war in Ukraine, a crisis in European industry, low demand for raw materials, and the need to revise the principles of the Green Deal. These challenges demand flexibility, openness to new solutions, adaptation to new realities, strategy changes, and business model transformation.

The SSD conference is the largest event in the stainless steel industry in Poland, attracting more professionals each year. It is a unique platform for exchanging knowledge and experiences.
