2025 International Conference on MIDREX® Technology
Each year, Midrex brings together plant operators from around the world for a week of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and technical exchange with Midrex engineers and technologists.
This two-way forum is essential for advancing MIDREX® technology and strengthening the global network of plant personnel and partners. It helps prepare MIDREX Plant operators to navigate the evolving dynamics of the global iron and steel markets while enabling Midrex to anticipate the needs of current and future customers.
In September, MIDREX Plant Operators, along with representatives from Kobe Steel, Ltd., and partners Primetals Technologies and SMS/Paul Wurth, convened in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, for the 2025 International Conference on MIDREX® Technology. The annual event featured keynote speaker James Campbell, CRU Head of Finished Steel Analysis, who provided strategic insights into global steel markets, pricing trends, and the industry’s journey toward decarbonization and green steel. The conference also offered valuable opportunities for networking and collaboration among participants.
