The Stainless Global business area supplies premium-quality stainless steel flat products and highperformance<br />
materials such as nickel alloys and titanium.<br />
Orders and sales higher<br />
At Stainless Global, business was up from the prior year in the first months of 2010/2011. The value of new<br />
orders increased by 18% to €6.0 billion due to alloy prices; order volumes were 3% down from the prior year<br />
at 2.0 million tons. Whereas volumes decreased slightly in the stainless flat products business, demand for<br />
nickel alloys and titanium increased, which also noticeably increased their selling prices. 2.3 million tons of<br />
stainless flat products and 37,500 tons of high-performance materials were produced. It should be noted<br />
that the prices of high-performance materials are many times higher than those of stainless products.<br />
Overall shipments were 6% down from the prior year at 2.0 million tons. Market demand was noticeably<br />
weaker in the 2nd half of the year. Despite this, sales increased by 14% to around €6.7 billion due to higher<br />
alloy surcharges. Base prices were lower than a year earlier.<br />
