In 2017, the iron and steel industry downstream consumption is expected to flat or slightly down this  year.In 2017, as an important period of China's steel production capacity to resolve the work,  the measures comprehensively advancing industry, will be conducive to the steel market  supply and demand contradiction of ease, the market is expected to further improve the  overall environment. Iron and steel industry should conscientiously implement the state  council "About the iron and steel industry to resolve the excess capacity to achieve out  of the development of the opinions”, really solve the excess capacity and processing the  zombie companies establish a market exit mechanism.

As a large steel production enterprises which base in China,supply service global ,Hunan  Shinestar Steel Research Institute has made gratifying achievements in 2016, domestic and  international trade double wave red, maintained top 100 enterprises in hunan province,  its springboard, opened plate, hot rolled steel plate and other products also won the  customer's highly recognized. In 2017 Shinestar will seize the opportunity, increase the  intensity of product innovation, efforts towards a higher goal.
