“Rebirth”, “dynamic”, “inflection point” – the resurgence and fresh start of the American steel industry

This year’s AISTech 2026 in Pittsburgh (4–6 May) set a new record with over 9,700 attendees, impressively underscoring the tremendous momentum of the American steel industry.

Since 2021, over 50 billion US dollars has been invested in new facilities, technologies and production capacity. At the trade fair, it was clearly evident that these investments are now beginning to bear fruit: high capacity utilisation of up to 80%, a growing willingness to invest, and an industry that has established itself as resilient and profitable in recent years.

For us at AMEPA, AISTech was once again a valuable industry gathering where we could discuss technological developments, the requirements and future challenges directly with industry representatives. The steel industry is showing renewed strength, and we are right at the heart of it.

We look forward to a continuation and to seeing our customers, partners, and friends again at AISTech2027 in Nashville.
