EUROFER with new identity name
EUROFER’s General Assembly on 19th May 2011 decided to change the name of our organisation from the “European Confederation of Iron and Steel Industries” to “The European Steel Association”. The name EUROFER remains.
The change comes into effect today, 20th of September 2011.
The mission of our organisation remains unchanged. The new name simply reflects the structure of the membership of the association which is composed primarily of the steel producers themselves as well as the national steel associations. Our activities will remain the same in terms of cooperation amongst the national steel federations and companies in all matters contributing to the development of the European steel industry as well as representing the common interests of its members towards the European institutions and international organisations.
Our logo has been adapted in accordance with the new name of the organisation (see attachment).
Represented by EUROFER, the European steel industry is a world leader in its sector with a turnover of EUR 190 billion and direct employment of 360 thousand highly skilled people, producing on average 200 million tonnes of steel per year. More than 500 steel production and processing sites in 23 EU member states provide direct and indirect employment and a living for millions of European citizens.
The European steel industry is the backbone of Europe’s prosperity and an indispensable part of the European supply chain, developing and manufacturing in Europe thousands of different, innovative steel solutions. The European steel industry provides the foundation for innovation, durability, CO2 reductions and energy savings in applications as varied and vital as automotive, construction, machinery, household goods, medical devices, and wind mills.
Steel is 100% recyclable, it can be recycled over and over again without loss of properties. All the steel in collected end-of-life products is recycled, irrespective of the percentage of steel in the products. Steel therefore contributes significantly to the long-term conservation of the fundamental resources for future generations. About 45% of the total EU steel production is recycled steel scrap.
