Stainless steel body hopes to boost product demand at event

Industry body and lobby group the Southern Africa Stainless Steel Development Association (Sassda) hopes to drive demand for stainless steel products by exhibiting at Water Show Africa 2017, which runs alongside Power & Electricity World Africa held at the Sandton Convention Centre on March 28 and 29. Sassda executive director John Tarboton says increased demand will help stimulate local production, thereby creating jobs and growth in the stainless steel industry.  “We believe that understanding how to deconstruct and use life-cycle costing prior to performing material selection will help to increase the specification and use of stainless steel in a range of applications. Our exhibition will assist in increasing the awareness and accessibility of life cycle costing for people who enter the Sassda Eiffel Tower competition.”
