Ladies and Gentlemen,

“Bringing the automotive, supplier and steel industries together” is a motto behind this year’s SCT 2017. This motto reinforces what the modern steel industry is all about: partnerships across value chains made up of industry, research and development professionals.

Another SCT 2017 theme is: “Future trends in steel development, processing technologies and applications” The ability to steadily innovate a traditional but still most innovative material for industrial use is reflected in the increasing amount of steel being used across the world. Steel enables many solutions for solving future global challenges such as living and mobility in megacities or the preservation of material resources due to steel’s excellent properties for recycling. This is the impetus to organize once again a congress with an accompanying exhibition, dedicated to the close relationship between the steel, supplier and automotive industries.

Following the exciting and successful launches of the SCT in 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2014, we are looking

forward to our next event in 2017. Steels in Cars and Trucks (SCT) 2017, takes place June 18 to 22, 2017, at Amsterdam-Schiphol, The Netherlands. This will be your opportunity to initiate future milestones for innovation and to take away valuable information for your business. The response to our Call for Papers was exceptionally high, allowing us to offer you around 150 lectures in 2017 on the many relevant topics of automotive construction with steel. Light weight construction solutions will be in the foreground, where steel provides economic solutions and is also very successful in multi-material-mix.

We would like to thank our sponsors and exhibitors, in particular Tata Steel for becoming exclusive Platinum Sponsor; Georgsmarienhütte and SSAB, for becoming Gold Sponsors, Matplus and Saarstahl as Silver Sponsors; as well as other Item Sponsors and several exhibitors. Our speakers and the many event supporters throughout the world who are actively promoting SCT 2017 deserve our special thanks.

We cordially invite you to join us in Amsterdam-Schiphol, and to become actively involved as an (or future) exhibitor or sponsor, and as a guest, to reactivate your contacts with experts from all over the world and to discover new networking opportunities.

We look forward to meeting you in June 2017, at SCT, in Amsterdam-Schiphol, The Netherlands.

Sustaining the tradition built during the previous editions of SCT, the Steel institute VDEh and Platinum Sponsor Tata Steel cordially invite you to the Evening Event of SCT 2017. As the conference is held in Amsterdam area, the dinner will be nearby at Louwman Museum in The Hague – a must-see for all car enthusiasts.

SCT participants will have the chance to see the truly unique car collection of the Louwman Museum. Subsequently everyone is invited for a dinner that takes place in the impressive grand hall of the museum, concluding the day in an inspiring way.


The Hague, The NetherlandsThe Louwman Museum is home to the world’s oldest private collection of motor cars, compiled by two generations of the Louwman family. The museum dates back to 1934 and now comprises over two hundred and fifty antique and classic motor cars. Experts regard the collection as one of the most beautiful in the World. The museum exudes passion. Each car has its own story to tell, its own contribution to history. The motor car is a mirror of culture. © Louwman Museum 2016

Packages for exhibitors / sponsors

Nearly 400 visitors attended the fourth conference on Steels in Cars and Trucks (SCT 2014, Braunschweig, Germany) which was organized by the Steel Institute VDEh. The ratio of steel producers to representatives from the automotive / supplier industry was 50:50.

The goal of initiating and further developing the network between automobile manufacturers, automotive suppliers and steel producers was successfully achieved.

Enthusiastic feedback praised, in particular the scientific and economic oriented presentations given by the international speakers, the accompanying exhibition, the impressive location and the good organization.

The conference fee includes get-together, networking event, the conference dinner and conference proceedings.

All participant fees are net. The NL VAT (21%) will be added.Conference registration includes catering, it is not possible to register without catering.

A comprehensive and wide reaching marketing campaign with flyers, mailings, newsletters, website, flags and much more brought, and continues to convey, the SCT message to the target groups.

The SCT provides its exhibitors and sponsors with an attractive possibility to strengthen their networks between the automotive, supplier and steel industries.

For detailed information, please visit www.sct2017.com (Sponsors / Exhibitors)

Not as important as an excellent program, but important nevertheless is the conference venue. An interesting venue will ensure an additional feeling of well-being for visitors, sponsors and exhibitors.

SCT 2017 will take place in Noordwijkerhout, in the southwest of Amsterdam. The NH Noordwijk Conference Centre Leeuwenhorst is located in the stunning tulip field region and close to a long, sandy beach. Transport-wise, you’re a 10-minute bus ride from Leiden central station, while Schiphol Airport is an easy drive away.

Amsterdam – the place to be!

Amsterdam is a very accessible and compact city, with a historic city centre. It is vibrant, multicultural and hosts many exciting festivals, events and exhibitions. The Netherlands’ capital city has been a centre of creativity and culture for centuries. From its humble beginnings as a 13th-century fishing village to its current role as a major hub for business, tourism and culture, Amsterdam has a strong tradition as a centre of culture and commerce.
