2016 steel awards uptake proves to be the most successful

For this year’s Columbus Stainless Steel Awards, the Southern Africa Stainless Steel Development Association (Sassda) has doubled the number of judging panellists, increased the number of awards and winners, having received more than 50 project entries, which followed the addition of ten more categories to broaden the scope for sector submissions. Compared with previous years, this is a huge uptake, snowballing from the 2014 awards and making this year’s event the most successful since its inception in 1998, says Sassda executive director John Tarboton.
