Increasing energy consumption globally (+50% till 2025); oil +2% yoy Expected development in offshore-production: oil +40% | gas +80% Heavy Plate: 2/3 of sales from Energy; Plates for the deepest pipeline worldwide (length 230 km, depth 2,500 m; from Gulf of Mexico to Louisiana) Seamless Tubes: Drill pipes and tubes for the oil & gas industry as well as for Chinese power plants Profilform: Aluminium-plated special tubes for power plant cooling systems (China)
Capacity increase from 350,000 t 2002/03 to 650,000 t 2007/08 in high quality heavy plates
