At the same time, the company will accelerate global sales of special steels, which means expanding and diversifying the distribution network and significantly strengthening the sales organisation. This spring, Ruukki opened new sales offices in Toronto, Canada and in Santiago, Chile.
“Being geographically close to our customers will enable us to deliver an even faster and more flexible service than earlier. Strengthening our technical customer support will enable us to offer technical advice and co-operation to an increasing number of customers,” said SVP, Special Steels & International Sales at Ruukki Metals, Thomas Hörnfeldt.
