Metal

ICG provides Market Research and Consulting services in Metals since the company’s establishing in 1998.

We have partner relations with governmental agencies regulating standards and safety in metallurgy, several large state-run and private metallurgical holdings, suppliers of metallurgical machinery, etc. We have abilities to make interviews in local languages, to access governmental and industry sources (such as statistic databases, Custom offices’ import and export records, license and certification registers, best-practice-case databases, etc.)

Currently we provide the following services in metal markets worldwide:
