That is something we have in our own hands. As you know Steel-Solutions has the ambition of becoming a big logistic key player on the European market. In order to achieve this, Steel-Solutions knows, you need a broad network and a lot of knowledge. Steel-Solutions already has a lot of knowledge and the network is growing every day.
