WELCOME

To the Steelmaking International Seminar attendees,

It is with a great pleasure that we welcome you to the city of Belo Horizonte , capital of the state of Minas Gerais and wish you an excellent staying and wonderful results during the activities which will be developed throughout this Seminar.

Our city is proud of holding this important event, specially due to the fact that we have a rich history linked to the Metallurgical and Steel Industries.

It is hard to think of Minas Gerais and Belo Horizonte history without mentioning the remarkable presence of the entrepreneurs in this field that you so well represent.

Here you will find space and conditions to work with efficiency and safety.
But also set some time to appreciate our sights, cultural life and culinary delights. I hope you enjoy your stay here and come back.
