Materials Processing Institute to host prestigious Electric Steelmakers Guild AGM
The Materials Processing Institute will welcome leading steel industry professionals when it hosts the exclusive Electric Steelmakers Guild (ESMG) 61st Annual General Meeting.
Dr Stuart Millman, who is Senior Researcher at the Materials Processing Institute, will be inaugurated at the AGM as the ESMG’s 61st President.
A themed Technical Seminar titled ‘Future for UK Steel’ will accompany the AGM. In this, presentations by steel industry leaders from organisations such as Liberty Steel, Tata Steel, Albion Steel and Sheffield Forgemasters will inform members about the future of the industry in the UK, including Green Steel strategy and the ongoing developments in technology and changes in plant organisation and ownership.
The ESMG, which was established in 1956, is a not-for-profit organisation that helps to promote progress in the manufacture of steel for commercial purposes in electric furnaces.
Chris McDonald, CEO of the Materials Processing Institute, said: “We are delighted to host such an important event in the ESMG’s calendar, which is shaping up to be an informative and exciting industry gathering. The future of the steel industry is critically important for the UK’s manufacturing base and the line-up of speakers at the meeting will keep ESMG members abreast of all the latest developments, as well as encourage discussion and debate.
“I am also very proud that Stuart will become the ESMG’s next President and this will be an even more special occasion as the Institute will be hosting the event.”
Stuart Millman added: “I am delighted to become the ESMG’s 61st President, which is a huge personal and professional honour for me. I am grateful to the Institute for its help and encouragement and am looking forward to supporting and engaging with my fellow ESMG members, in my capacity as President.”
The ESMG’s AGM and accompanying Technical Seminar on ‘Future for UK Steel’ is to take place on Sunday 7th May from 10am at the Materials Processing Institute, in Middlesbrough.
