| 2007 stainless steel production down after nickel-price collapse |
| Brussels, 4 April 2008. According to preliminary figures released today by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF), global stainless steel production was 27.6 million metric tons (mmt) in 2007, a decline of 2.9% compared to 2006. The decrease in production occurred in most stainless steel producing countries and regions. Only the Asia region and China showed increases in production for the year. |

| Stainless steel production cuts in third quarter of 2007 |
| Brussels, 20 December 2007 - Preliminary figures released by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) show that stainless steel crude steel production in the first three quarters of 2007 was by 20.9 million metric tons (mmt). This is just 0.4% higher than for the first nine months of 2006. Total production for the first nine months of 2007 is just 90,000 tons higher than for the same period of 2006. |

| Stainless steel production for first half of 2007 up but slowing |
| Preliminary figures released by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) show that stainless steel crude steel production has increased in the first half of 2007 by 9.1% compared to the same period of 2006. Total production for the first six months of 2007 was 15 million metric tons (mmt). During the rest of 2007 ISSF forecasts that healthy demand from end users will remain, but production will slow down considerably due to de-stocking. |

| Stainless steel where does it all go |
| Brussels, 20 December 2007 - The International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) and the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies have joined forces to undertake a pilot study into the current applications for stainless steel. In 2006, more than 28 million metric tons (mmt) of stainless steel were produced. The study aims to find out what it was used to make. |

| Stainless steel production to grow further – but at a slower rate |
| Kyoto, 21 May 2007 - The International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) expects that stainless crude steel production in 2007 will be higher than the record-level of production in 2006, mostly driven by recovery from 2005 and some restocking. High raw material prices, especially for nickel, encourage ISSF to promote ferritic grades as an economic and effective solution for the main applications of stainless steel: a book “The Ferritic Solution” is now available.The forecast was released during ISSF’s Annual Conference in Kyoto, Japan. |
