VGH exhibits at the “Metallurgy 2008″ trade fair

Schwelm, 8th July 2008 – For the first time VGH Viktoria Garten Hüttenindustriebedarf AG is exhibiting at the Metallurgy 2008 trade fair with its own booth. The fair which takes place from the 16th to 19th September in Donetzk in the Ukraine is a specialized trade fair for machinery, equipment, products and technologies for the mining and smelting industries. VGH will be presenting a portfolio of its own brand products “theramer” (shaped and unshaped refractory products) alongside introducing products from partner companies such as Stollberg and Lungmuß, to the fair’s visitors.

Since the end of 2006, the Ukraine belongs to VGH’s new business territories. Complex refractory lining projects are at the focus of VGH’s activities in the Ukraine in addition to the supply of mould powders and isolation materials. VGH’s participation at the trade fair is an important step for VGH in order to document the company’s presence in the market and underline its expansion plans for the Ukranian market.

Thomas Günther, Chairman of the Board of Management at VGH AG, commented: “The huge wave of modernisation taking place in the Ukranian steel industry presents VGH with a massive business potential. At the Metallurgy 2008 VGH will not only present its network of products and partners from Western and Eastern Europe as well as from Asian countries which we are introducing to the Ukranian market. A further focus of our presence at the Metallurgy 2008 will be the realization of complete modernisation projects.”
