We are specialised in providing market intelligence covering specific segments or entire markets for the global Speciality Steel Industry. The results of our research projects are based on a vast scale data-collection, comprising present and historical information about the supply side (production), trade (exports and imports) and demand side (consumption) of the specific steel products in question. Starting from our extensive database collected since 1994, we carry out detailed surveys into the topics defined by our customers in order to be able to elaborate a complete set of recommendations for strategic action. Our customers are leading specialty steel producers, traders as well as their raw material and technology suppliers. A typical case when we are called upon is when a steel producer plans an offensive move (e.g. investment) into new markets: either geographically, or by grades. In such cases, we provide all relevant data and information about market potential (end-users, converters, traders), competitors, local specifications, prices, forecasts, etc. for the market concerned. To this end we will not only visit and interview the most important market players, but also consult all other available data sources, like associations, research institutes, etc.
Our philosophy is best expressed through a famous line originated by Leonardo Da Vinci, "ad fontes" (Lat. "to the sources"), meaning that we strive to use only genuine data, gathered as far upstream as possible, namely at the source.

Production Cost Analysis
Our extensive database about individual stainless and special steel producers allows us to calculate the production costs of virtually any producer and product form (grade, size, etc.) with high accuracy. Our cost model that has been developed together with leading special steel producers and engineering firms over the past 15 years is based on a profound understanding on production technologies and related cost parameters. The following list is an excerpt of cost analysis that we have already done:
· Stainless Steel Flat Products (Slab, 3mm No. 1 HRC, 1.2mm and 0.8 mm 2B CRC, 0.8mm BA CRC in 304, 316, 430 and 409) for up to 28 producers.
· Stainless Steel Plate (any selected with thickness and grade) for up to 10 producers
· Stainless Steel Long Products (Billet, Forged Bars 250 mm, Peeled Bars 50mm, CD Bars 25 mm, Wire Rod 5.5 and 25 mm)
· Stainless Steel Seamless Tube & Pipe (Mother tube, HF Tube, CF Tube, Instrumentation Tube)
· High Alloyed and Engineering Steels (4330, 52.100, H13, D2)
· Nickel Alloy Long Products (Alloy 718, Alloy 625, Monel K500)
