Steel Sector Support
Our consultancy practice offers clients an independent, professional metal industry advisory service through our UK company Metals Consulting International (MCI). All our consulting work forms part of a broader decision support framework — serving investment, legal, policy, and corporate decisions where structural independence is essential.
This advisory service includes:
- Our core business services: Our steel industry consultants assist you with due-diligence, restructuring, modernisation, strategy, business planning, performance turnaround and profit improvement projects. These activities frequently involve market or technical analysis and / or a visit to your plant.
- Metal sector expert witness services: Our advisors help clients to help resolve mining and metals-related legal disputes. This specialist advisory business is focused on the upstream and downstream ferrous and non-ferrous metals industries. We have much experience working with leading law firms to write robust independent reports. We also have solid cross-examination and tribunal credentials.
Industry experience covers iron and steel, aluminium, cobalt, copper, gold, lead, lithium, molybdenum, nickel, silver and zinc. It also encompasses the 3T metals [that is: tantalum, tin, tungsten] and the PGMs or platinum group metals [including ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum]. In trade and policy disputes, our published analysis of which steel products genuinely warrant strategic protection provides an evidence base widely relevant to expert testimony in this sector.
- Additional services: You receive advice and assistance with global partner search, acquisition appraisal, technology issues, forecasting and market research. We also undertake business valuation work. MCI can furthermore assist with staff training and executive search and selection.
To provide these services, our Steel Consultants and Associates draw upon:
- A strong and long-standing track record of client work in international steel sector assignments — see our project experience record, case studies and client testimonials.
- Hands-on experience as advisers on strategic positioning — including the key challenges currently facing steel sector management — and in work on market, technical, environmental, economic and financial issues.
- A industrial contact network that spans metals manufacturing all around the globe.
