The Stainless & Special Alloys Conference returns to Nashville in November 2026 for the 5th edition of this must-attend industry event.

Organized by SMR Events in cooperation with World Steel Dynamics, the conference brings together decision-makers from across the stainless steel and special alloys supply chain to exchange market intelligence, discuss the North American and global outlook, and address the issues shaping the business in 2026 and beyond.

After strong editions in 2022–2024, our 2025 conference set a new benchmark with around 350 delegates from 165 companies, and we are excited to build on that momentum in 2026.

It ranges from processed stainless steel and scrap metal to special and superalloys. Whether pure or precisely recombined, CRONIMET guarantees its customers exact analyses of all materials. If required, all components are provided in chargeable form for the melting process.

In addition to focusing on solid scrap, CRONIMET is also working on other innovative ideas to keep valuable metallic raw materials in circulation. The subsidiary CRONIMET Envirotec uses innovative vacuum distillation technology to recover metal residues and filter dust from metal sludge, for example from production processes in the automotive sector, steelworks and foundries, in an environmentally friendly way. These can be returned to the melt in the form of metal briquettes.

The CRONIMET Group's newest company, Revomet, deals with the recycling of batteries from electric vehicles. From the end of 2024, the Bitterfeld site will have its own facility for shredding entire battery packs and then separating them into their various components. This will further advance CRONIMET's efforts to keep valuable metallic raw materials in the cycle.
