Linde Gas at GIFA, Metec and
ThermProcess
Linde Gas will demonstrate its range of proven and viable solutions for the iron, steel and metals industries at the parallel GIFA, Metec and ThermProcess fairs in Dusseldorf, 12-16 June
Results from customer installations will be displayed in three separate booths, and presented at simultaneous conference sessions: the European Metallurgical Conference (EMC 2007), InSteelCon and the ThermProcess Symposium Increased product value, improved yield and quality, enhanced process throughput and reduced costs, as well as limited environmental impact, are all business benefits obtained from Linde solutions in the metals industry
