With the acquisition of the Ferrara (Italy) service centre, Ecor has changed its strategy: it has moved from distributing a wide range of stainless steel products to offering a comprehensive, vertically integrated processing service. Only in this way, with flexibility and speed, explains Marco Pinardi of the company’s sales department, can a firm remain competitive in a market as turbulent and unpredictable as today’s.

Ecor will therefore be exhibiting at Made in Steel in May, returning to the event as an exhibitor.
