Network for the automotive, supplier and steel industry More than 350 visitors attended the third conference on Steels in Cars and Trucks (SCT 2011) in June 2011 in Salzburg, Austria, which was organized by the Steel Institute VDEh and the Austrian Society for Metallurgy and Materials (ASMET). The goal of expanding the network between steel producers, automobile manufac-turers and automotive suppliers was thus reached and should deepen in 2014. The concept of presenting both components made of flat and long products together allows the exchange of knowledge between both product forms. The enthusiastic feedback praised in particular the scientific and economic presenta-tions, by the international speakers, as well as the accompanying exhibition, the impressive location and the good organisation. The positive press response reflects the broad interest in the use of steels in the automotive industry and today conveys the SCT 2014 message to all target groups.
