Ruukki is expanding its sales network in the Middle East by opening, in June 2014, an office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Opening this new sales office is in line with Ruukki's aim to increase the share of special steel products and develop its distribution and partnership network and to provide a faster and more flexible service, together with technical support.

The Dubai sales office will cover the entire Middle East, as well as Pakistan. Ruukki is looking forward to strengthening its offering and service across the entire region.

Mr Thomas Hornfeldt, SVP, Special Steels & International Sales at Ruukki Metals said that "Ruukki's new sales office will offer more comprehensive range of special steels. Ruukki is also seeking a strong position in developing sales to, for example, trailer manufacturers in the Middle East."
